Replacing "$" in variable

hi
I have a variable like

k=$DESTDIR/$PKG/$VERSION

I want to replace each $ in string k with say "XXX".
so that k becomes like this "XXXDESTDIR/XXXPKG/XXXVERSION"

when I use echo $k | sed -e "s/\$/XXX" it actually passes expanded of variables $DESTDIR, $PKG and $VERSION to sed.


Please help.
