Chill, don't be upset... we're all civil here. I'm talking about a situation where someone shares their salary e.g. here on Lemmy. Then you'd have no clue what's their country and what's the currency they mean. There are plenty of other examples where currency is not obvious if you don't state it clearly, or have enough context to know it from that.
In that context, the person would state the currency since they know that others may not know. If no currency is stated then they just mean USD because only US people think they’re the center of the world.
