Literally every year since the internet was created: the dollar sign goes before the number, my dude.

Didn’t know since we don’t follow this convention where I’m from.

Every one of these symbols goes before the number: $€£¥₹
Where are you from where it comes after? What currency do you use?
The only time this comes after the number, that I am aware of, is when you use abbreviations like USD or EUR instead of the symbol.

It’s language specific. In english it comes before the number. In many other languages it comes after.

Where are you from? In English it’s always the case that you put the dollar sign before the number.
