Remove First Character of String 1

[Mike555]

I have a string named Value which contains user input. I'm simply trying to check if $ is the utmost-left (first) character within the string, and if so, remove it from this string. My code is below, but this isn't working.

If Value.Substring(0, 1) = "$" Then
            Value = Mid(Value, Len(Value) - 1)
End If

Could someone please suggest how I could accomplish this? Thanks.

if Value.Startswith("$") then Value=Value.Substring(1)
