Use them like quotes to cover all your bases.

sweden does something similarly weird. we don't have a currency symbol (unless you count "kr") so the standard way to write a price is "20:-", which used to be "20kr, 0öre", with the colon as the decimal separator and the line added so you couldn't write in another value, but then we switched decimal separator for currency to "," and ":-" just became the symbol for "money".

you even occasionally see abominations like "19,90:-"...

Like spanish question marks, it's good that you put the first $ upside down.

LaTeX: ok, I'll print out 100 in math mode. No problem

It's interesting that you have :- as the symbol for money when here :- is the symbol for forgetting to give your ASCII smiley a mouth.

We also sometimes use ,- effectively as a symbol for money. I assume it has same origin but could be used as 19,90 ,-

Thouhg I think you'd only use it on handwritten stuff, didn't see it in the wild for a long time now that I think about it

I think the French write 1€50 iirc. At least I think I've seen it at their gas stations? Does indeed look bad.

¡Exactamente!

[whippersnapper@lemmy.ml]

In the US, $ comes before a number, and ¢ comes after. It helps differentiate them at a glance. $1.50 or 75¢
You only use one symbol at a time.

Not all that many uses for the ¢ left these days, I suppose.
