I mean the dollars means it's not Europe

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

honestly not necessarily, i've converted my currency to dollars when talking about prices before because i know there's just a lot of Americans online and everyone else has already adapted to understanding how much a dollar is in their currency anyway

You know, the US is not the only country to use a 'dollar' as the term for its currency.

I convert Australian dollars to USD when talking about prices before because i know there’s just a lot of Americans online and everyone else has already adapted to understanding how much a dollar is in their currency anyway

Huh? No we haven't? Just put AUD next to the dollar amount.

yes but when someone says "dollar" on the Internet the chances are they mean USD

I don't think that's true.

I can think of anything in Europe, but it could technically be the Phillipines too if we are just going off the $ symbol.
