  (the comma is a decimal point, right?)

    I would love to see information about why don’t countries do that.

    It’s called a point.

      It is called a decimal separator. Should be obvious why languages that use a point for it would call it “decimal point”. Other languages refer to it as comma.

        It really bugged me until I realize it basically means 919 euros AND 0 cents.

        Whereas in North America we basically would say $919.99 meaning $919 dollars and 99% of a dollar.

    A small, but important detail. :D I always try to use the correct decimal separator for the unit.

      Some years back, I had a friend who had lived in Germany for some time who came to the US and did a cash transfer without thinking at an ATM and couldn’t figure out why her account got frozen. She’d used a comma instead of a period when entering the amount of money to be moved.
