[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 241596, member: 39"]Nah, the exchange rate is not that bad. :D One million (US) is eine Million (DE). But one thousand millions is a "Milliarde" in German while it is a "billion "in English. And the German "Billion", as on the depicted piece, is an English "trillion". (Yes, I know that sometimes - UK? - an English "billion" is the same as a German "Billion". But that is something I don't have to deal with, hehe.) Side note: Where you use a comma to separate the thousands, we use a point - and where you use a point (separating dollars and cents for example), we use a comma. But since in most cases - at least when it comes to money - there are only two digits after the decimal point/comma, that is not terribly confusing ... Christian[/QUOTE]
