The schwa vowel sound in "dollar" is in the first syllable, "dol". It's the short, unstressed sound represented by the symbol ə.

Here's how it breaks down:

* dol - /ˈdɑː.lər/ - The schwa sound is the short, unstressed "uh" sound.

* lar - /ˈdɑː.lər/ - This syllable is stressed, so it has a clearer vowel sound, the long "a" sound.
