The $ symbolizes the prompt (the bash prompt, in particular). It's not a part of the command. You are just supposed to write rustc --version

Are you using MSVC version? you need VC++ build tools (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691126). I think using mingw version is the simplest one when you want to learn rust (https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-1.7.0-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.msi).
