- ebg13 8y agoThis is a common misconception, but proper placement is dependent on the language not the currency.
- smnrchrds 8y agoThis is correct. Visit English and French versions of a Canadian retailer, e.g. Amazon.ca. The English version follows English rules ($29.99) and the French version follows French rules (29,99 $) even though the currency is Canadian dollars for both.

- blattimwind 8y agoWriting 29.99 € or 29.99 EUR is still super common even if it's English. This might be in part because the UK never really used euros (and will probably never use them).
- GordonS 8y agoI'd say 29.99 EUR is very common, but not 29.99 €. I only ever see the € symbol after the value in documents from Europe, never in those from the UK (I see a lot of quotes, purchase orders and other financial documents from various places and companies)
