The businesses that provide domain-name registration don't know whether you are registering dollarbonus.com with the aim of providing an honest service or a dishonest one. So long as you pay them they don't care. They may take action if they receive a large number of complaints about a customer's domain they have registered, or about a customer's website hosted on a hosting service they provide.

The US Bureau of Engraving and Printing are responsible for printing dollar bills (banknotes) but they are not consulted by a domain registry in, say, Myanmar, when a business there registers a domain name that includes the word dollar. Furthermore, the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing is not responsible for checking the motives or honesty of businesses in, for example, Myanmar.

I doubt the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing was asked for approval when the car-rental business registered the domain name dollar.com and set up their website. It simply isn't their purpose.

There are many countries that use the word dollar for their different currencies - US dollars, Canadian dollars, Singapore dollar, Caribbean dollar, etc. It would be impractical to consult all the responsible government agencies every time someone tried to use the word dollar as part of a business name or trading name. None of the national agencies responsible for printing various dollars would be interested in vetting such use of the name worldwide.
