It depends where in Europe ;) Switzerland, Liechtenstein and United Kingdom use decimal point.
- nottorp 2y agoIn Romania the comma should be the decimal separator in theory. In practice my online banking uses the dot, and doesn't accept commas anywhere. And it's a Romanian bank with a homemade web interface. I just checked 3 random paper receipts i had lying around (from different stores), two use the comma and one the dot.
- maest 2y agoThe French, on the other hand, religiously use the comma as a decimal separator.
- Aaronmacaron 2y agoIn Switzerland we mostly use the format 12'345'678.901 Obviously I'm biased but I think it's the best system because there's no room for confusion.
- rad_gruchalski 2y agoBut you do use a decimal point. Liechtenstein uses exactly the same format.
- ido 2y agoInteresting! Does it differ in different languages? I assumed German Swiss will use the same system as Germany, French Swiss the same in French, etc.
