The article has the amount at USD 12,7m. That's a lot of money but quite a bit less than the title suggests.

- phjesusthatguy3 10y agoYeah, the posted headline is just plain wrong. It was 1.4 billion Japanese Yen.

- erelde 10y agoThis is just getting confusing (and ridiculous), I dont' know if you're using long or short scale. Currency conversion, plus bad editing/title, plus confusion around the short/long scale.
- MicroBerto 10y agoSometimes, M = 1,000, and MM = 1,000,000 (edit: just came back realizing that this was a useless comment since they'd both be wrong here)
- tossaway1 10y agoIn this case it was apparently neither of those
- stepanhruda 10y agoWhy the hell is M 1,000? Shouldn't you use k?
- josephmx 10y agoMille is sometimes used (eg, CPM is Clicks Per Mille/Thousand)
- MikeKusold 10y agoMille is latin for 1000 and therefore the roman numeral for 1000 is `M`.
- Mandatum 10y agoIt's pretty unlikely for anyone to use a mix of roman numerals and decimals to describe.. Anything.
- superdaniel 10y agoIt's used in accounting in certain companies. It probably depends on the company culture.

- planteen 10y agoIt's also sometimes used in the US for 1/1000 of a dollar for property taxes (mill levy).
- tlb 10y agoEdited, thanks.
- Bootvis 10y agoThat's an order of magnitude better but to nitpick: the amount is closer to $13M ;)
