This came up in a Berlin math class one time. In the US, England, and one other small country (don't remember who), the correct way is 10,000.00 all other lands do it 10.000,00. This is a "PIA" for me using a German keyboard and my American speadsheets. I click the "," for the "." my speadsheet gives me an error. Oh well...
