Otherwise arguments extend to nothing, but what is "nothing", depends
on where you used the $dollar-variables. 

See attached patch dollar.pd. When used standalone, it prints 
  
  symbol: symbol 
  symbol-message: The symbol is 
  float: 0
  float-message: The float is 0

and when used as an abstraction with arguments (with-dollar.pd), it
prints:

  symbol: symbol hi
  symbol-message: The symbol is hi
  float: 2
  float-message: The float is 2

ciao,
