Open naltatis opened 4 days ago

In Germany the common cent notation is '31,6 ct'.

Ah, thanks for pointing this out. Do you know if that should apply to all Euro regions?

I'm not sure. In our project, I've also done some international electricity price formatting. I also had to do some internet searching and rolled my own currency-specific formatting logic, which may not always correct.

Alright! Ok, so I found this source: https://european-union.europa.eu/document/download/b9fdeae1-dc66-47a7-a902-fb941309e744_hr?filename=publication6336_en.pdf

There is no official abbreviation for “cent”, but one could reflect on using either “c” or “ct”.

But I'll totally take your word for it and just change to ct. Thank you for helping me improve the app :)

Interesting. c is extremely uncommon, at least here in Germany 😀
