This only gets me downvotes, and I don’t make the rules, but I do enforce them:

$100.00

I always wondered about that. It seems sensible to have it at the end, so in my mind I can read 100€ as “hundred euros”. But $100, I can’t help but read it as “dollars hundred”. Feels wonky. Although I guess this is a quirk that comes from not having dollars and as such, that format, nor English as an official language, so natives probably don’t “read” it in their minds like that?

The unit symbol should follow the quantity, as this is how it’s generally read and spoken. Just because it’s tradition doesn’t mean we should keep doing it.

It signifies currency and that’s why we do it.
