Foreign currency
In some cases it is necessary to distinguish US dollars from other currencies, such as euros (official currency of the European Union), Canadian dollars, etc. In these cases, use the official designation or symbol for that currency before the dollar sign. There is no space between the letters or symbol and the dollar sign ($).
