Subject: Using of SI prefixes with currencies
Hello all,
the people of Controlling departments of companies etc. here often use
the unit k€ (KiloEuro) for 1000 EUR or k$ for 1000 $.
According to the official SI system: Is it allowed or forbidden to use
the prefix k with currencies? I have not found anything about that on
http://www.bipm.org/en/si/.
In my opinion a currency is not a unit of measurement, therefore the SI
system does not apply to currencies at all, including prefixes. Am I
wrong?
Greetings from Germany
Joerg
