Australian manual of scientific style Start communicating effectively
Amounts of money can be expressed with symbols, which are set before the amount with no space:
$500 €500 £250
Some symbols are alphabetic characters, which are also placed unspaced before the amount:
Rp500 kr100
Alternatively, use the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 3-letter codes, which precede the amount but have a space:
AUD 500 EUR 500 THB 5000
See the ISO 4217 currency code list for a full list of ISO 3-letter currency codes.
If spelling out the currency name in full, place the words after the amount:
250 pounds sterling
5,000 Thai baht or 5,000 baht
10,000 Papua New Guinea kina
For dollar currencies, it may be necessary to specify which country you are referring to:
A$35 US$25 NZ$400 CA$60
or
AUD 35 USD 25 NZD 400 CAD 60
or
25 Australian dollars 25 US dollars 25 Canadian dollars
For foreign currencies, it may be helpful to give a conversion rate to Australian or American dollars as a footnote, with the date when the conversion applies.
To refer to the value of the currency in a particular year, use the following style:
2004A$ 2006US$
In tables or figures where a monetary value is the unit, express it as follows:
Real value ($ millions) Real value ($ thousands) Price (2013A$) Price (2013–14A$)
or, if space is limited (note the apostrophe):
Value ($m) Value ($’000)
Show either full dollar amounts or 2 decimal places, not 1 decimal place:
$20 or $20.80 not $20.8
For large numbers that can be rounded, use numerals and words:
$1.5 million $5 million $20 million
If space is limited in tables and figures, million can be abbreviated to m, with no space between the number and m:
$1.5m $5m $20m
Quantities of thousands of dollars should not be abbreviated (eg do not use k to represent 1,000).
For amounts in cents only, show in full:
4 cents 50 cents
Use the following format for a range in currency, if the numerals are followed by a word such as million:
$5–6 million [$ only in front of first digit, en dash between digits, nonbreaking space after second digit]
