  I do it intentionally, to annoy back the americans who write stuff like €30 ... and because it makes sense zo me to write the unit after the value, or at least have a standard way of doing it.

    I hate to break it to you, but where currency symbols are placed is mostly a language convention and not so much dependent on the the currency itself. €30 is very much correct when speaking English. In fact, it is the style recommended in the European Commission's style guide [1]. That means there is a standard way of doing it, it just depends on your language. If you were speaking German you'd also write 30,00$ and not $30.00. All of that said, I agree that the inconsistency with all other units is weird and unnecessary, but languages just are that way sometimes.

      Interesting, thanks for the guideline. I'm not sure what to think about it yet, since I'm also referring to consistency towards other units (nobody writes "cm 20").
