    Cool graphic!

    But the €-sign belongs after the amount not infront, that’s a grammar mistake. Also it doesn’t explicitly state which dollar is meant

        I stand corrected. According to this they used the wrong abbreviation for billion then though: ‘B’ instead of ‘bn’

        But also ew: “− €240”

        It makes no sense to me since all other units come after the amount, or do you write “– °F56”

          I mean it’s just what you’re used to. I’m from the Netherlands, so for me seeing 240 € looks weird. That’s just how language works. (Which is great in my opinion, there never should be one exact way to do language)

          I think it is so because the amount is written on checks and putting the sign before the amount prevents adding more numbers.
