Where the symbol goes
Placement depends on the language, not just the currency:
- In U.S. and UK English, the symbol goes before the number with no space: $25, £25, €25.
- In many European languages, the euro sign goes after the amount with a space: 25 €, and decimals use a comma: 25,50 €.
- When the symbol is ambiguous ($ is used by many countries), use the ISO code instead: USD 25, CAD 25, AUD 25, or US$25.
