Enter Currency Document For Free

In an English document, when you need to specify the type of dollar (Canadian, American, Australian, etc.), the Translation Bureau recommends using the symbol US$ to represent the American dollar. Write the country symbol ( US ) first, immediately followed by the dollar sign ($) and the dollar figure: US$ 25.99.

For US dollars, the symbol '$' is sufficient abbreviation, unless there is a mixture of dollar currencies in the text. For other dollar currencies, '$' should be prefixed with the country abbreviation. For all other currencies, write the figure first followed by the currency name, for example, '100 million yuan'.
