This is a funny catch as the [http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Knowledge-Base-Style-Guide/ta-p/717705 style guide] asks for the term "Linden Dollars" to be capitalized ;) The "Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache" permits adding the suffix s to indicate plural for currencies.

| Linden dollars (L$) | Linden dollars (L$) | Linden Dollar (L$) | "Dollar" is a noun, thus must be capitalized in German. The German word "Dollar" has two plurals, "Dollar" and "Dollars". When speaking about prices or generally amounts of money, the first one (without 's') is used. The second plural form is only used to refer to physical money (several coins or bills). Though, with "Dollar" being a foreign word, even native speakers of German might disagree on this. --Boroondas Gupte
This is a funny catch as the style guide asks for the term "Linden Dollars" to be capitalized ;) The "Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache" permits adding the suffix s to indicate plural for currencies. So Euro/Euros and Dollar/Dollars would be correct. There is indeed a contrary discussion about use cases. Traditionally we had currencies that didn´t allow suffixes (Taler/Mark). Anyway, Linden Dollar (L$) sounds good for german... -- I just corrected the Style Guide. The correct capitalization is "Linden dollar." The word "dollar" is not capitalized in English.
