Million is M, not mm or MM or M&M

I believe some parts of the world, particularly in Europe, interpret $500M as $500 * 10^3 (not $500 * 10^6)...So some use $500MM to universally avoid this confusion

mm and MM are very common ways express "million" in finance. M, mm, MM all mean the same thing.

In SI, M is million same as k is a thousand.
