Surely it goes before.

What we're missing is an official symbol to denote satoshis.

Let's just go scientific on this. I mean we use milli- and micro- after all. So 1.000BTC.

Then again, I most commonly see it before just like the USD. So BTC1.000.

How about we just go crazy on this and place it on top if we're talking about BTC and below if we're talking about satoshi?  Huh

So: BTC
   1.000

Is 1 Bitcoin and

1.000
   BTC

is 1 Satoshi.

You know what...The foundation should develop a poll regarding this nomenclature...

There is a post somewhere on this forum (5 btc 0.001 milliBitcoin bounty were key terms in the thread) where a clever person suggested this format:

3฿234

This mean three leading zeros after the decimal place and then the numbers 234...it would look like this;

3฿234=0.000234 (ie, 0.234 m฿)

I think this deserves more thought now that a fair amount of time has passed.

Definitely before.

The symbol for a satoshi, on the other hand, could be treated the same as the one for a cent, and placed after.

BTW, what is the symbol for a satoshi? Does it even have one?

μ? In that case it would μBTC100. Sort of confusing.

Does the BTC symbol go before the number such as $100, or does it go after the number such as 100¢?

It is critically important that we clarify the formatting of this.

Example:
BTC100
100BTC
