/doh dólareh/ is called aspiración de /s/ postvocálica. /doj dólarej/ is called velarización de /s/ postvocálica. In /doj dóla/ there is also an apócope. Just knowing a little of phonetics you will understand these definitions, as they describe exactly what is happening to the sound referred to.

That makes sense, as this happens depending on the phonetic context of the changing sound. Look that, in your sentence, the /h/ appears before consonant, while /j/ appears before vowel. Actually, aspiración and velarización are the same phenomena on different grades, which is the setting back in the mouth of the articulation point (I'm sorry I'm translating literally, as I don't master this vocabulary).
