I never understood why some countries insist to write currency type before the amount. It is weird and inconsistent among multiple currencies. Would be way better to write every numeric value before its type like in physics, though I suspect physics also may have some strange rules somewhere :) .

Agree. Even the spoken form (at least in the languages I know) is formated this way: You say "ten euros" and not "euros ten". I'd be curious to know why it was decided to write it the other way around.

The prefixed currency symbol makes it trivial to detect attempts to insert digits on the large denomination side.
