Why does 1000M coins display as 1G and not 1B?

Because it's a Gigantic amount of coins.

Yes, but SI is a standard metric system of units adopted for official scientific use. There is a defined set of base units and derived units.

In-game coins and supplies don't quite qualify methinks

Right, it should be Gc - gigacoins.

I disagree. It's widely used in mathematics to describe large (or small) numbers so I don't see why it's wrongly used in this case.

Lol, next you will be telling us there is a gigasheep in the world or would that be Gsheep or sheepG?

There is actually a good reason for using the SI prefix standard. Some countries use the short form for a billion while others use the long form and there is a big difference. Using the SI Prefix means there isn't any confusion with regard to the actual value being displayed.

As I'm not a native english speaker, I can assure you this helps me and supposely others aswell. Because in my language, 'billion' is the name of your 'trillion' and it always confuses me.

that surprises me, your posts are always well worded and written (grammer wise)
