Combine that with how many currencies use the $ symbol, and you get even more confusion.

Going dangerously off topic here but a former coworker who was a history major used to complain every time someone wrote out the $ symbol with only one vertical line. Although we have forgotten the roots, he showed me how it really is supposed to have two parallel vertical lines because it was originally a U superimposed on an S because it was the mark of United States currency. Over the years we have lost the bottom of the U and eventually one of the two vertical lines (at least from common usage). I can't help but think that there would be far less confusion if we had kept the original symbol.

Count me in for 6 yards of double width! And if need be, I can do more.

Must have!
