Although GP is still technically correct, as a cent is by definition 1/100th of a unit of currency. The above all use fils instead.

Mils, or mills. (Typo, or autocorrupt French keyboard?)

In this context, fils: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fils_(currency)

>$100.000 each day For clarity & comment skimmers: TFA uses $100,000 in the subheading and beyond. Some European countries use `.` as a thousands separator, so it's not "a hundred dollars a day".

No one uses 3 digits to represent cents, so nobody is going to interpret this as a hundred dollars a day.

That's fair. I stand corrected. Thank you.

Commas are punctuation too... so what are you proposing?

Could use a space or an underscore: 100 000 100_000

Spaces cause ambiguity with separate values like 123 456. Underscores are ambiguous with missing values due to the common use of a line segment to indicate where to fill out form values in addition to the same separate values issue as spaces.

It's downright insulting. Norway is a country not a mere here today gone tomorrow company.

Some companies lasted longer than some countries

Cool offhand factoid!

In 1885 he helped found and lead the Provisional Government of Saskatchewan on land traditionally inhabited by Métis people. After a series of battles that spring, the Provisional Government was defeated by Canadian troops. The country had been in existence for just 62 days. Riel was subsequently captured, convicted and hanged.
