minus-square@lmmarsanolinkEnglish2•edit-28 hours ago $ value and value $ are both seen in Canada for example, former being more common in English, latter in French Canadian conventions vary by language. In English, I’ve only ever seen $ then figure. Canadian government price indexes BBC report on Canadian supermarket prices photo of multilingual price tag price comparison table shows currency symbol £ C$ $ precede figures The ISO currency code can go after (eg, 1 USD, 1 CAD).
