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.
