  -> yes indeed, omit "and" for USA, retain it for Europe
agree  Taña Dalglish: Agree. Comma after thousand; I believe it is imp. to state "Mexican" pesos too; P.S. your answer and other person´s are a minute apart-probably a case of inputting at almost the same time. U still have a pt. though, context says "Mexican". Abrazos.

  -> true, but if this translation is to go to (say - US UK or wherever else) the reader needs to know what the currency is, but the "Mexican" can equally be omitted - let the asker choose!
