From the CNN crawl:
"$25 million dollars"
This reads twenty-five million dollars dollars. Now if someone is giving me that amount, I won't complain, but otherwise, I must protest. The dollar sign ($) and the word "dollars" are the same, so you need only one, usually the dollar sign.

This drives me crazy, too. It's similar to .25 cents (the symbol for cents).
One that makes me laugh is...
ATM Machine
Also PIN Number as well as TIN Number :)
My kids cringe when we go into Wal-Mart. There is almost always a cart right by the door that has a few left-over items that they are pushing. When the tag says ".25¢" I either rip off the '.' or the '¢' whichever is easier. My kids run for the dark corners. :-)
