Question about European currency?
On ebay some dude is willing to ship me an item for 6,20 euros. Now when they add the comma do they mean a period or a comma? Cause I googled 6,20 and 6.20 euros and converted them to canadian dollars and there’s a huge! difference! Then I went to another site which is based in the uk and found an item for sale for 12.99 euro. Then when I went to the shipping page, the shipping costs 8,99 euro! Again with the coma! So Im confused…does the comma supposed to be a decimal or no?

In Europe the decimal point is marked with a comma. In North America it is marked with a dot. In Europe the thousands are marked with a dot; in North America with a comma. So when you are talking about euros, 6,20 euros means 6 1/5 euros. It is possible that the UK uses the same system as North America, I’m not sure. That would explain the discrepancy. In any case when there are only two digits to the right of the mark, whether it is a comma or a dot, you can assume it is a decimal.
