Un exemple parmi tant d'autres..dans son CV le dirigeant néerlandais d'une grande transnationale américaine donne de nombreux chiffres...
$ 25 MM ou $140 MM ou $250 MM...J'ai traduit les MM par milliards...Avez-vous une autre opinion ?
Autre info : il mentionne les 'millions' ainsi : $ 50 million

This isn't the first time Brown used Oracle products to ***save*** money. In fact, the ***US$500,000 ***savings*** is actually on top of the ***US$1.5 million Vector SCM saved when it implemented Oracle9i Real Application Clusters (RAC) in March 2002.
Vector SCM $2MM

I think I've got it:

Yes:
M = 1,000
MM = 1,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000 / 1m

In traditional accounting practice, M designates thousand or thousands (from the Latin mille), and MM is used for million. Hence such traditional abbreviations as CPM for cost per thousand items of a retail good, or MCF for thousand cubic feet of (e.g.) natural gas.
