Inserting character combination '$(' into nvarchar(MAX) column from SSIS

I'm trying to use an Execute SQL Task in SSIS to run an INSERT statement which runs fine from within SSMS, but for some reason I get an error. In testing I narrowed it down to the character sequence $( which is part of a string that is being inserted into a nvarchar(MAX) column. If I remove either of the characters it works fine....any ideas of what's going on ?

Test SQL Query

INSERT INTO [Test].[dbo].[TextTest]
           ([SomeText])
     VALUES
           ('$(')

Error Message

[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "" failed with the following error: "". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
