• Incorrect: ¥5,000, $50, 50¢, 50 dollars and 50 cents, $ 50.50

Capitalization

Do not capitalize currency.

Pluralization

Pluralize dollar to dollars. Do not pluralize yen to yens.

Examples

All of the rules above apply for all currencies. If you are unsure over the correct plural of any specific currency, consult Google.
