    Have we just given up on putting the currency symbol in the correct place?

    (I know some currencies have the symbol after it, but I’m not aware of any dollar currencies that work that way)

      No, the US doesn’t have sole authority to dictate what the correct place is to the entire world.

        This is not a US thing…

        I wasn’t asking on behalf of the US specifically. Pounds also work like that.

          The British hold even less sway over me

            Sure, but the point still stands that the placement of the symbol isn’t one nation standing alone - it’s one of two options and the world is split. Some currencies work one way, some the other.

            I don’t like France but I still respect it’s preferred placement of its currency symbols, both present and historic. Seems rather arrogant otherwise.

      Yes? Is it going to confuse anyone?

      Correct is whatever next generation of society adapts. It’s 10 dollars not dollars 10. I personally don’t care, I just don’t see the problem
