    They’re using European numeral system. They’re saying exactly what you’re suggesting; the financial burden in the form of a tax.

    $1,000
    $5,000
    $20,000
    

    I do wish we used the decimal for our numerals here in the States. I like the Japanese placement of 4 orders rather than the 3-order system of the west. Less clutter.

      I don’t think Europe has a common standard.

      We write numbers like 5’000’000.00 Switzerland, Germans write 20.000,00 and Italians don’t have any money so they don’t use anything.
