Not in Europe. We put our currency behind the number and our decimal is a “,” instead of a “.”
Instead we divide thousands by empty spaces or “.” (at least in Germany).
Why is your decimal a comma and the separator a full stop? A comma continues a thought just like it continues a number, and a full stop (period) separates sentences, much like it separates a whole and fractional part of a number. Your system is ass-backwards and you fucking know it. You should be ashamed of it.

And then there’s whatever they do in India, where a comma indicates the thousands place, but then they put commas every two numbers…
not always. It’s a combination of 3 spaces for some, and 2 for others.

Yes, but this is specifically a dollar sign, and in every country that uses dollars, the $ goes before the number.
Not in Canada.
The prices in French have the dollar sign at the end, while in English it’s at the front.
More accurately, in English the currency type precedes the number, regardless of what currency it is.
Interestingly, in europe this seems to vary by country!
I was just thinking that I wasn’t sure which was correct, but it seems both are actually acceptable in Germany although after the number is preferred
Interesting. Didnt know nor expected a whole wikipedia article about that topic alone…
