I always wondered about that. It seems sensible to have it at the end, so in my mind I can read 100€ as “hundred euros”. But $100, I can’t help but read it as “dollars hundred”. Feels wonky. Although I guess this is a quirk that comes from not having dollars and as such, that format, nor English as an official language, so natives probably don’t “read” it in their minds like that?
