more secure passwords

I have read that using non-alphanumeric characters can make a password much more difficult in a brute-force attack.

So I added a $ at the end. Then I got to thinking. If the brute-force approach is one of simple iteration a dollar sign at the end may succumb fairly soon.

The question is: Does position make a difference for placing an uncommon symbol in the password?
