Python: a pattern of two signs (* and $) that creates a pyramid

Question

I want to create a pattern that looks like this:

*
* $
* $ *
* $ * $
* $ * $ *
* $ * $
* $ *
* $
*

I know how to use nested loops to print pattern like this with one sign but I have difficulties to create it wth two signs. Any idea how to do that?

I am using python3 here

for i in range(5):
    for j in range(i+1):
        print('*' if j%2==0 else '$' , end=" ")
    print()
    
for i in range(4):
    for j in range(4-i):
        print('*' if j%2==0 else '$' , end=" ")
    print()
