> I think it often depends on context, too

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?

I have seen it in many different places. At some I had to figure out what they really meant.

My bank is inconsistent, by the way. It uses "1234.00" where the last "00" is the cents. It was "1.234" in the same SMS. In another message (same bank) it uses "12,34". Weird. Although in the last case it might be because it is EUR, not HUF, but they are still very inconsistent.
