Null vote out of spite.
This is only going to turn into a war over the Atlantic. Different countries, different conventions.

Excell likes the "10,000.00", and the "10000.00", but on a financial report, the "." is used to separate 1000's, not seperate the wholes from the fractions. So I'd have to go with "10.000,00" because I'm a financial candidate myself, and I like math.

I myself use 10,000.00.
However, mathematicians could argue the use of at least the first 4 (if not all of them).

in what dollars? the comma means thousands and the decimal depends on how many tenths of a fraction

it should be 10,000.00 but i always put 10000.00 just because why do you need a comma in a fucking number??
10 000,00
Who would argue such a basic thing? #3
