Why can't it be after it? \nI'm just curious because when it's for example about Euros (currency used in most European Union countries), the €-mark is placed after the amount of money. Compare: $100 - 100€\nYou don't say "Dollars hundred", you say "Hundred dollars" so why isn't it placed after the amount?

The role and function of the money in europe is no different then then the role and function of money elsewhere in the world. Its not because there are differnet currencies that the purpose of it is different. Ofcourse the value of it may vary to differnt standards of living.\nRoles of banks, and other financial facilities are the same as everywhere else in the world.

I don't know where you're from, but in the United States "one thousand" is used a lot more prevalently than "ten hundred."  I have only heard "ten hundred" a hand full of times in my life.  I say "one thousand."  Since she is your wife she is going to win the argument anyways, so not much you can do!

What these previous answers suggest may be correct.Scotland is part ofthe UK,the currency is the british pound.The UK is not a member of the euro community So if it's the pound symbol which is more logical Then 17K would be even more money.The pound symbol is like a written L with a stroke through middleThis is much more likely as I cannot imagine scottish money being shown as other than the british pound.

it's based on demand/supply of the money. It can also be determined by government policy, like when euro first come out.

The value of money is relative. If the government started printing excess money, it would drive down the value of our money relative to the value of goods and relative to the value of other currencies around the world.\n\nNot only would we fail to reduce our debt, but we would destabilize our economy.

That's a regionalism that happens in Spain. Dinero is the standard word for money, but hard cash usually has a different term according to country: in different places you could say cambio, sencillo, monedas, suelto, and metalica.

Chinese don't have a fully floating currency.  They "float" their RMB to a selective basket of goods/currencies.  This means the exchange rate only changes a minimal amount per day.

We have different currencies because countries wish to maintain control of their own finances. The state of the  national currency is an important part of a nation's sovereign power.\n\nHow it works is really simple in principle. Currency is just another commodity for which people have varying needs and for which they are willing to pay varying amounts. Absent currency controls the value of a dollar, euro, yen or whatever is determined by what amount of other currencies people are willing to pay for them.

The euro becomes the European currency in 1999. It will affect every European citizen - even if his/her country does not participate from the beginning.  \nThe transition to the euro will touch every area of our society, culminating in 2002 - when eleven European Union Member States will replace their currency by euro notes and coins.  \n\nThe changeover from national currencies to a European money is a major step in the lives of European citizens.\n\nSuccess or failure of the new single European currency will have significant implications for the economy of the United States, as well as for the rest of the world.\n\nWhen the euro, the new currency of the European Union, was introduced Jan. 1, the European Central Bank pegged the rate of exchange with the dollar at $1.18, not the expected $1.20. By February the exchange rate had slipped to $1.11 and, as Insight went to press, it was $1.07, a rate that head central banker Wim Duisenberg did not anticipate.\n\nEuropean officials talk as if this is not a worry. "The Governing Council does not regard current monetary trends as constituting a signal of future inflationary pressures" said Duisenberg April 8. Privately, however, officials tell Insight that each day's trading makes them ask, "Why is it sliding?"\n\nWhen the euro was being phased in by 11 of the 16 countries of the European Union, or EU, the new money was conceived as the tool of a political strategy to make trade in the European countries like that of a single nation. The conventional wisdom was that the euro could become either a great partner, taking some of the pressure off the dollar as the world's overriding reserve currency, or a competitor that would strip the United States of some huge advantages that the dollar's primacy has brought. But there is a third scenario, unspoken for the most part: The euro might collapse, leaving the basket of separate national currencies.

Correct!  You make perfect sense.\n\nBut if you make perfect cents you'll be arrested by the government for forging currency.

Because...\n\nEver pay toll? Keeping track of quarters is such a pain in the tuckus! Dollar coins are so much easier. Dollar bills also wear and tear pretty easy and end up being more expensive in the long run...since there are SO many of them (moreso than other denominations)...so a dollar coin might be more resilliant and worth while.\n\nBut that is just my guess...

you left out...\n\nsix thousand, seven hundred and forty. That is another option. But usually an address such as that would be said as \n\nsixty seven forty (67/40)

I got some counterfeit money as change when I was in France. I didn't know the difference between a counterfeit 10 franc piece (coin) and a genuine 10 franc piece. I tried to spend it in a shop and the clerk wouldn't take it and said it was fake. I basically said WTF, I got it as change somewhere.  But they still wouldn't take it. I showed it to a local and they pointed out the little imperfections in it.  But it DID look and feel pretty similar, almost exact even to a genuine 10 franc piece, it wasn't an obvious fake like photocopies of dollar bills are.  And 10 francs was about $2 so who expects THAT to be fake??
