“500.000$”
This is not American. Not saying you should donate to Harris, but that seems fishy as shit.

Also in the US, the dollar sign is written before the number, like $5, not 5$
(Even though it’s spoken after the number, and almost all other units are after the number in both speech and writing)BuddyTheBeefalo@lemmy.ml 3 months ago
The dollar symbol should appear to the left of the numeral, and the cent cent symbol goes to the right of the numeral.
$1 = 100¢
crazy!

The donation page is actblue, the primary liberal/progressive funding site in the US. It requires you to be a US citizen to donate.
Even if OP of this thread isn’t American, the charity is.

I understand that, I’m just saying that it’s odd that the currency is noted that way and may deter people.
