Etymologie (Englisch)

Onomatopoeic; the noun is attested earlier than the verb. Noun sense 3 (“dollar; large sum of money”) may refer to the sound of a coin hitting a surface.
As regards verb sense 1.4 (“(transitive) to drop, set, or throw (something, or oneself) abruptly and/or heavily”) and sense 2.4 (“(intransitive) to drop, land, or set abruptly and/or heavily”), compare French plonquer (Picardy), a variant of plonger (“to plunge”).
