I have a data frame with a below column and would like to do some characters/special character search on it

Price
-----
123
$123
-123
A123
e123
234.5
675

How do I search for Alphabets and special characters in the price column and create a new column "flag" using python ? Here is my desired output

Price Flag

123 0
$123 1
