  Some parts of the world (mostly Europe, I think) use dots instead of commas for displaying thousands. For example, 5.000 is 5,000 and 1.300 is 1,300

    Yes. It’s the normal Thousands-separator notation in Germany for example.

    But usually you don’t put three 000 because that becomes a hint of thousand.

    Like 2.50 is 2€50 but 2.500 is 2500€

    Is there an ISO standard for this stuff?

      No, 2,50€ is 2€ and 50ct, 2.50€ is wrong in this system. 2,500€ is also wrong (for currency, where you only care for two digits after the comma), 2.500€ is 2500€

        what if you are displaying a live bill for a service billed monthly, like bandwidth, and are charged one pence/cent/(whatever eutopes hundredth is called) per gigabyte if you use a few megabytes the bill is less than a hundredth but still exists.
