The dollar sign is used as a delimiter for ICSL variables and must be
enclosed in quotes. Thus either of these filters should produce your
intended results.

header.subject="$$$$$" | 
header.subject="!!" | 
header.subject="XXX" | 
header.subject="##"

or

header.subject="$$$$$" | 
header.subject="$!!$" | 
header.subject="$XXX$" | 
header.subject="$##$"
