Most European countries use . as the thousands separator and , as the decimal point.

I know, I live in such an European country, but I still know (and use) "." as the decimal point. Most people I know here do, too, and they are not in IT. I think it often depends on context, too, and I would like to think people just know.

I just checked, my bank uses "." as the decimal point, too, instead of the official ",".

I get that people can be flexible about understanding that `.` and `,` do not have a stable definition especially in an international world, but I would have thought that 50.000 EUR in context would clearly be 50 thousand. Who specifies cents with 3 digits?

Hah - there I go acting like I know more about Europe than a European. TIL!

Let me guess: Ireland or Malta? If not, then Germany?
