How to cd to $RECYCLE.BIN?

I made a dualboot between Windows 8.1 and Lubuntu 14.04. I tried access the Lubuntu files with a ext2/3/4 driver for Windows. But when I went back for Lubuntu, there are in / a folder named $RECYCLE.BIN. Now I am trying to enter via terminal, but is shows:

yuri@yuri-Aspire-E1-572:/$ cd "$RECYCLE.BIN"
bash: cd: .BIN: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado

It means that cd does not find .BIN. I only can access through a graphical file manager.

So, how to cd to a folder with name starting with "$"?
