# 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

<p class="callout success">e.g. “EUR,” “USD,” “JPY,” or “CNY”</p>

- 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.
