If you really want a stringr solution:

str_replace(a, "[$]", "")
# [1] "rstudio"

We can use sub. The $ is a special character and it means the end of the string. So, we should either escape it (\\$) or place it inside square brackets to read it as the literal character in the pattern argument and replace it by ''.

sub('[$]', '', a)
#[1] "rstudio"
