Are you Indian, perchance? How you write prices in India doesn't work in other places; this looks strange to someone who works in nearly any other currency.

Any of the following would look a lot less out of place:

$50 50 USD $50 USD 50.00 USD $50.00

Of these, I recommend the first one; dollars default to USD worldwide unless specified otherwise.

I think currency notation is more of a regional thing. Had we just mentioned "$", our Singapore customers might think its SGD (Singapore Dollars). We'd be better off using "USD $50.00". Thanks for the perspective.
It was clear to me. Are you in the US perchance? :)
