Price

Prices aren't included in the various infoboxes, I'd leaning towards adding them and putting a standard format for currency in the Manual of Style. The biggest discrepancy is comma/period in the decimal separator, I've typically defaulted to whatever is used in that country which is why you'll see €12,50 and €12.50.
