My 2 cents would be that since the language being used in the banner is English, it would be a good idea to conform to *English* conventions. The comma separator for thousands and the point/period/dot for the decimal separator is the convention in every English-speaking country in the world. > And the Euro sign "€" is not the officially approved currency symbol by the > European Union and might be not understood / wrongly formatted in other parts > of the world. Therefore I prefer "EUR". Read this, Bernhard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_sign Or maybe the European Commission is not really worthy of serious consideration? Me, I prefer the universally-recognized euro symbol. You see it in every bureau de change of every country throughout the world - is that universal enough for you?
