M is million in the SI system, which has come to dominate in today's
society.
MM in Roman numbers would mean 2000,
MM means a million in financial contexts, something the article is arguably
about, but I think that would just confuse people
This use of MM comes from the latin mille milles (a thousand thousands).
Much fodder on the internet about this, here's two:

And to save everyone the trouble of where this might go, I suggest just
reading this forum thread instead...
