separator collision

Can we please just use a space for thousands and something else for decimals? Use a comma, point, hedgehog emoji 🦔 or whatever happens to be traditional in your country, but please make sure it will never ever be confused with a thousands separator.

I suggest using 😎 as the thousands separator.

That would be pretty cool.

We solved it in Hungary by absolutely not having a thousands separator. At least not officially. A couple of people and systems use space, but most of the people doesn't separate thousands at all. The decimal separator is a dot.

This is actually a killer bargain. ¢59 gets you 40 Robux, while €240 only gets you 22.5 Robux.

Yeah, the €/ROB curve is pretty wild.

Space as thousands separator for the win!

Clearly the best solution.
