    Which would work as intended no? 1 kiloeuro would be 1000 euros ergo 300000 euros. Maybe I’m just dumb and that was the point if so carry on lol

      Absolutely. I’m just accustomed to seeing the currency sign on the left and prefix abbreviation on the right (ex. €300k). Generally, it gets “expanded” to thousand, million, etc. So, three-hundred thousand euro. The things that amused me is thinking of a kiloeuro as a measurement unit, rather than a currency unit.

        Lol yeah I see that I think what could have made it a step up in amusement is had they expressed the amount in British pounds. It would of seemed like a peak British moment of mixing imperial units with metric units and seeing a kilo pound would have just sent me rolling XD
