This is already done in some areas (like contracts).

But in every other place you are making a purchase (or selling), the total amount should include the words of the amount you are dealing in.

This could be abbreviated as needed.

So for instance. 225,000,000.00 would included the words (beneath the number amount)... 225 million ISK

And 225,325,293,891.00 would be... 225.33 Billion ISK) .

Let the scammer rage commence.

But scamming is part of EVE, and this would kill it...

Or just be mindful of the number... it's not like numbers are overly obscure, they've even got digit group separators.

Don't we already have that?

I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

Yes. "Billion" instead of "Million" is a common substitue in public contracts.
