Good lord. Because the dollar exists, and people in other countries are free to reference it without changing to our mathematical punctuation standards. Other languages have their own spellings for America too, and in their own alphabets. They don’t have to switch things up for us.

You know that various countries have their own currencies? Why would they refer to the dollar instead?
