    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
