      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.
