M is million in the SI system, which has come to dominate in today's

MM in Roman numbers would mean 2000,

MM means a million in financial contexts, something the article is arguably

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...
