Do you.they put a , instead of a . Such as 4,50 is that the same thing as 4.50? I know it's not the same value,but does the comma replace the decimal in French currency?

EmeraldSkies said:

No, wait, I'm confused. 4,50 € is 4 Euro 50 Cents. We don't usually write 4.50. A "." is used for 1.000 € for example. Which would be 1,000 $, right?

Anyway, I'm German but I guess le France people write the same way.

In Europe they switch the commas and decimals...

4.500,00€ is the same as $4,500.00 (not the same value however!)



on 2nd thought I could be wrong... it's been 3 years since my last visit...

Interesting theory

PANDURITO said:

disprove it then...

RenHoek said:

No, that's right.

OK

In America they switch the commas and decimals...

So would 42,00 EURO be $58.32 ?

In the UK we use smiley faces instead of decimal points. It's because we're so happy. So £4.50 becomes £4 50.

I got $57.97...

I guess these currency converter sites aren't very accurate then. Thanks!

PANDURITO said:

Unless of course it's your credit card bill, then it's £2500 00.

It's "European" currency.
Only the British were arrogant enough to have their own currency as part of the EU.

I'm fairly sure we invented currency so it's really our way or the wrong way.

I am trying to buy something that I can only find on Ebay.fr Does anyone know if there is a way of translating a whole webpage? I unfortunately do not speak it.

mcmeekle said:

There is no way the English invented currency.
Your PMs can't even expense motes correctly!

Imago said:

Not quite true. There are other countries trying to resist. Denmark, Sweden for example.

Imago said:

Who would want to live in a country governed by people with dirty moats?

It's money well spent IMO.

mcmeekle said:

I never thought about it that way.
