Nice! mad nitpick, I feel like the Euro display filter is weird, as it renders "12.25€" whereas I'd expect a Euro value to be displayed "€12.25". I've never seen it with the euro sign at the end in my life! Maybe this is country-dependent? Another one, the Editable filter is very cool, but every keypress seems to take focus away from the input, making it rather hard to edit a number in practice. Regardless, I really like this! Of most similar attempts I've seen so far, this seems particularly ergonomic and up my alley. Great job!

What country are you from? In France it’s always at the end for example

  In Italy it's at the end, hence my interpretation

  Same in Germany. Definitely at the end here.

  In the Netherlands it is a prefix, at the beginning. https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euroteken https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euroteken

Thanks! I was always told the dollar is a prefix unit while the euro is not, but perhaps between european countries there are differences in that... Anyway, yes the editable thing is a known problem that could be fixed by switching to a view mode rather than an edit mode. The problem right now is caused by keeping in sync the edit field and the code on the left side.

  The dollar sign isn’t a prefix in many EU countries. It’s so weird to learn that currencies go first. Then again, I still don’t understand a single American measurement either so why wouldn’t it be weird? Seriously, I have no idea what a mile or a feet is. I’ve learned from time to time when I needed to, but I always forget again because it’s just not making any sense to me. Or maybe it’s bit weird. Do you guys also put something like “ml” in front of numbers? Would it be: “you can buy 10ml of milk for $2”?

    LOL, Americans don't do ml. It would be 1/8 fluid wainscot of milk or something.

      I realize making fun of the imperial measurement system is a great internet pastime, but almost everything in America has measurements in both imperial and metric on the packaging. The can of soda I'm looking at says 12 fl oz, and then in parentheses it says 355 ml.

  I understand this is a tradition and it is pointless to look for logic here, but I always wandered why dollar sign goes first when all other units go after the number.

Concerning the currency symbol positioning, yes, it is indeed country-dependent. Countries of the Commonwealth usually place the currency sign in front of the figure, but most european do not, and instead place the symbol after the figure.
