| Please see ] for Misplaced Pages's manual of style regarding currency abbreviations. For entirely US-related topic, we may simply use "$". If there would be confusion because an article's topic overlaps different countries, but the US dollar is the only currency used in the article, we are to use the full "]" on the first usage and simply "$" for subsequent usages.

'']'', '']'', and '']'' are all American films produced and distributed by American companies, and the articles do not refer to any currencies other than the US dollar. They can all therefore simply use "$" as the currency abbreviation. If you feel there might be some confusion with ''Predator'' because it was filmed in Mexico, then we should use "United States dollar" on the first mention and simply "$" on the rest, since no other currencies are referred to in the article. There can be no confusion with respect to ''Brüno'' or ''V for Vendetta'', even though their subject matter is Austrian and British, respectively, because if the article referred to Euros or Pounds then they would use the symbols "€" and "£". --] (]) 02:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC) | Please see ] for Misplaced Pages's manual of style regarding currency abbreviations.

Please see WP:$ for Misplaced Pages's manual of style regarding currency abbreviations. For entirely US-related topic, we may simply use "$". If there would be confusion because an article's topic overlaps different countries, but the US dollar is the only currency used in the article, we are to use the full "United States dollar" on the first usage and simply "$" for subsequent usages. If multiple currencies are mentioned in the article which use "$" as their symbol, we are to use the full name on the first usage and the appropriate abbreviation on subsequent usages ("US$" for US, "AU$" for Australia, etc.). In any case your "$US" is not the proper abbreviation. Predator, Brüno, and V for Vendetta are all American films produced and distributed by American companies, and the articles do not refer to any currencies other than the US dollar. They can all therefore simply use "$" as the currency abbreviation. If you feel there might be some confusion with Predator because it was filmed in Mexico, then we should use "United States dollar" on the first mention and simply "$" on the rest, since no other currencies are referred to in the article. There can be no confusion with respect to Brüno or V for Vendetta, even though their subject matter is Austrian and British, respectively, because if the article referred to Euros or Pounds then they would use the symbols "€" and "£". --IllaZilla (talk) 02:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
