What does the dot (.) mean in the Euro currencies?

Question

For example, 13.987 Euros. Is it the same with the comma?

Answer 1

That is just under 14 Euros.

Answer 2

13.987 Euros = 13987,00 EUR or 13987,- EUR

@ one observation: I'm not sure if there's something like a european convention for the usage of dots or commas as period seperators; I suppose at least in the UK they're using dots, but you're right about this: "depends on who wrote it ..."

Definitely wrong are you about 3 decimal places: we have (Euro)-Cents and thus always TWO decimal places (except for exchange rates - but that's the same all over the world)

Answer 3

depends on who wrote it ...

European convention uses dots as period seperators (eg between millions and thousands) and commas as decimal seperators

But convention for Euro is an amount expressed with 3 decimal places.

Answer 4

The dot means the same thing here and there.........It means 13 euros and 98 cents euro..........
