Currency

  • Follow standard numbers rules outlined in said section.
  • Currency names should not be capitalized (unless requested by some other grammar rule).
  • Use currency abbreviations instead of symbols

e.g. “EUR,” “USD,” “JPY,” or “CNY”

  • Currency abbreviations can either precede (with no space) or come after (with a space) the amount (e.g. “EUR10” or “10 EUR”). Both are correct and it comes down to a stylistic choice. Make sure to stick to one and to not mix the two within a script.
  • Use currency names instead of abbreviations when no amount is specified (e.g. “I don’t like euros.”)
  • Any currency other than the Japanese yen must present a conversion into US dollars above it.
