You can do it like this:

var str = "$$$$34534";
var str2 = "$34534";
var str3 = "$@ 34534";
var str4 = "!@#34534";

var patt = /[\D]*/;
 
 console.log(str.match(patt)[0])
 console.log(str2.match(patt)[0])
 console.log(str3.match(patt)[0])
 console.log(str4.match(patt)[0])

Regex used is simple: /[\D]*/ - match any non-digit char
