    I honestly like this usage better. It matches verbal useage (fourty dollars), and also matches other units (40kg, 40kph, 40cm, and so on).

      I agree and always write it like that at first, but it’s also true that for example fifty kilodollars (50k$) just looks better as $50k

      …although it might just be silly enough that it works…
