      Presumably someone from a non-english speaking country made this, considering the dots used as digit grouping separators.

      Having the $ at the end would be nice though. It’s nice having your units in a single fraction instead of at different sides of the number. It could then be consistent with how we write all our other units.

      We don’t write m 1000/s, for example. We write 1000 m/s. We even say it this way already “4 million dollars per hour”.

      4,000,000 $/h makes way more sense than $4,000,000/h to be honest.

        In the U.S., the almighty Dollar comes before everything. I’m surprised we don’t treat it like question marks and exclamation points in Spanish where if a sentence contains a Dollar sign, the sentence begins with an upside-down Dollar sign and ends with a Dollar sign.
