To be honest, I wouldn't use a Regex - I'd use TryParse:

C#

NumberStyles styles = NumberStyles.Integer | NmberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol;
CultureInfo provider = new CultureInfo("en-US");
if (int.TryParse(stringToConvert, styles, provider, out number))
    {
    if (number >= 2000 && number <= 1000000)
        {
        ...

Solution 2

While it's theoretically possible to match min and max values with regex, you'd have to do
100|101|102|103...
all the way through your range (there are some shorter ways but it's hard for humans to compute them)

I agree with OriginalGriff

This is easier with TryParse/Parse

I would use Regex to match the pattern, then check the value in code.

^\$(\d{1,3}(\,?\d{3}){1,2})$

Just a few interesting links to help building and debugging RegEx.
Here is a link to RegEx documentation:
perlre - perldoc.perl.org[^]
Here is links to tools to help build RegEx and debug them:
.NET Regex Tester - Regex Storm[^]
Expresso Regular Expression Tool[^]
RegExr: Learn, Build, & Test RegEx[^]
Online regex tester and debugger: PHP, PCRE, Python, Golang and JavaScript[^]
This one show you the RegEx as a nice graph which is really helpful to understand what is doing a RegEx: Debuggex: Online visual regex tester. JavaScript, Python, and PCRE.[^]
This site also show the Regex in a nice graph but can't test what match the RegEx: Regexper[^]
