You're of course correct in English, I just wanted to share that the currency sign goes after the value in many other languages, so it's an easy mistake for ESL people to make.

Don't some English speaking countries put their dollar sign after? I thought at least one of CAD or AUD did

ETA: I dunno why but this comment is bringing me a lot of joy. I have been corrected by three people now without a single downvote. I asked an honest question, and got honest answers with no backlash. Imagine seeing this question on Reddit

That's true, it just looks that way because it is upside down.

People in english speaking parts of of Canada place the dollar sign before, but people in Quebec put it after, at least when they write in French.

Cad not in the English parts of the country. Not Aud

This is true for all currencies in my language except for $, €, and £ which goes in front. Maybe ¥ as well but that is rarely seen in text so I don't know. As for rupies 🤷
