$ was used for pesos before the U.S. existed.
Comment on Uber severely limits tips (<30%)
Vegan_Joe@anarchist.nexus 1 day agoYes. I don’t use Uber, so I did not know what MX$250.00 meant in that app.
It did not occur to me to refer to another country’s currency in terms of dollars, which is how that looks to me (MX$ = “MX Dollars").
Also, thank you for correcting me, but you also come across as a bit rude.

There are a lot of countries that use a currency called “dollars”, Canada, Australia, NZ, Hong Kong, Singapore, Fiji, I’m sure there’s way more that I don’t know or remember.

Mexican Pesos have existed long before Uber, lol. $MX isn’t unique to the Uber app…
