The "#" tells the assembler than the operand is an actual piece of data,
not an address. This is the "immediate" addressing mode. The "$" tells
the assembler that the operand is a hexadecimal value. Leaving it out
tells the assembler that is is a decimal value. So in the case of 0-9,
they are the same with or without the "$". But things get crazy if you
type "#80" (meaning 80 hex = 128 decimal) and the compiler assumes
80 decimal. The default varies of course with the assembler used, but
you get the idea.
What makes this confusing to me is that # is the hex symbol in HTML.
