I read it more as an uncompleted copy-editor’s note, more like (todo: insert dollar value here), than a banal reference.

- tracerbulletx 2mo agoThat does not really make sense. Millions of euros is also millions of dollars. It's not an exact number, why would they have a currency conversion.
- MomsAVoxell 2mo agoWell, million euro’s is currently about 1,158,300.00 United States Dollars, so maybe the copy editor looked at the number and didn’t want to offend the sensibilities of their readers .. anyway, the point is, I don’t think this (parentheses) indicates a dumbing down of anything, other than maybe a sleepy editor who didn’t catch its distraction ..
- gwbas1c 2mo agoBecause, when mentioning a monetary value in a US publication, it's always common to show the value in USD next to it.
