What is the deal with writing out dollar amounts such as $$$ instead of $300 or $.60 instead of $60? (Or is that $160?) I'm sure that confuses the heck out of newbies and even I sometimes have a hard time deciphering it.
Perhaps there is some historical relevance to it, where guys used to do it for some reason, and then that reason no longer applied, but they just kept doing it out of habit, and then newcomers started doing it just because everybody else did it that way? If it is an LE concern, I doubt that would help you much if you were busted because of it, as it is obvious that you paid SOMETHING.
So I don't know if we can all agree to stop using code and start writing dollar amounts normally, but I have rarely (if ever) used the code, will continue to write amounts out normally, and would encourage other guys to do the same.
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
