This only gets me downvotes, and I donโ€™t make the rules, but I do enforce them:

$100.00

I always wondered about that. It seems sensible to have it at the end, so in my mind I can read 100โ‚ฌ as โ€œhundred eurosโ€. But $100, I canโ€™t help but read it as โ€œdollars hundredโ€. Feels wonky. Although I guess this is a quirk that comes from not having dollars and as such, that format, nor English as an official language, so natives probably donโ€™t โ€œreadโ€ it in their minds like that?

The unit symbol should follow the quantity, as this is how itโ€™s generally read and spoken. Just because itโ€™s tradition doesnโ€™t mean we should keep doing it.

It signifies currency and thatโ€™s why we do it.
