      yes, german has a very weird way of writing numbers, where . is replaced by , and , is replaced by .

      So, in US numbers, that would be EUR 274,091,361.75

      It has confused many people already. It should be made more consistent internationally. I propose all use the US format of 274,091,361.75 because that’s already used in programming and so it’s widespread.
