If you type "shift" 4 what symbol do you get? In america its the dollar sign $. I'm just wondering what your keyboards have.

 

[TMHBAT]

Um, still a "$" here. Maybe you mean "North America." (I know you guys tend to forget we exist. . .)

I just tried it, and look what I got!

Man ! I must have a defective keyboard because mine just made change for a dollar !

I believe most keyboards use the "$" (shift-4) sign. Do the ones in the UK (or some asian countries with different writing system, i.e. japan) differ?

 

[MarcusL]

Nope. I have Korean and Thai keyboards and all have the '$' keys too. If I need to use a different currency symbol, it's either it has another separate key (for Korean) or I have to activate the "change language" of the keyboard (Thai).

I used to have a laptop with UK keyboard and that was also $. But @ and " were reversed.

I moved from the U.K. to Canada nearly two years ago now. I can talk Canadian politics for hours, I watch hockey, and most people don't even think I have an accent any more. However, I _still_ couldn't use a North American layout keyboard if you held a gun to my head. I need my " on the 2 key and my @ next to the :...weird, but true.
