Some, or maybe all, European countries use a comma instead of a decimal point.
It is 70.00 or 70 euros.
The current rate is 1 Euro = 1.5614 U.S. dollars so you seem right at 109.
Though many companies don't follow the day to day rate fluctuations. I would send an email and ask how much in dollars.

Greece too. We use a comma for decimals, and dot for thousands. 70,50 means seventy euros and fifty cents, while 70.000 means seventy thousand euros.

Seventy thousand euros and fifty cents would then be 70.000,50 ??geroyannis wrote:Greece too. We use a comma for decimals, and dot for thousands. 70,50 means seventy euros and fifty cents, while 70.000 means seventy thousand euros.

Thats confusing.. why not just stick to one formatting scheme..

In France, according to the "Lexicon of the typographical rules in use at the national printing house" wich is pretty much the definitive absolute official reference for us typo nerds or language lovers :
"Numbers in digits expressing a quantity are written by three digits groups (thousands groups), separated by a non-breaking and non dilatable space, both for the whole part or the decimal part. […]"
Not sure this makes sense since the translation is mine and I'm pretty bad with numbers anyway, so here are some examples :
- seventy five thousands € would be : 75 000 €
- seventy five thousands € and 24806 cents would be : 75 000,248 06 €
Pretty simple after all. No [.] whatsoever, and [,] are always used for decimal.
I didn't find anything regarding some European Union rule about this (talk to me about harmonization ), but would be very interested if anyone could point me to it, should one exist.

Here in Italy we have three ways to separate thousands, so for example, seventy thousand could be
70000
or
70.000
or
70'000
Comma is the equivalent of point in English - 70'000,50 would be, in English, 70,000.50
Anyway, when wasting money on ebay items, I often use this

so far I've found it to be fairly accurate...
