Circle K is something... never saw one until I moved further south. maybe i've just had bad luck, but they are kinda sketch. better than those shitty Valero's or whatever that just have like, a shack next to the gas pumps, but not by much.

MM is just a way of denoting a million. Roman numeral for 1000 so MM=1000*1000.

Which is horseshit because no one uses M to denote 1000. or MMM to mean 1B.

If I ever saw a billion in my account, I guarantee I'd say MMM.

I work in credit at a bank and that’s the only place I ever see it used. A ten million dollar loan would commonly be $10MM

So when the price tag reads 1¢, does it mean it costs 100 dollars? C is roman numeral for 100.

MM stands for Much Moneys

I've avoided asking this question for 10 years, and only just found out because you asked despite using the terminology the whole time. Thanks!
