Hi, I just need to confirm whether this makes sense in English. Shouldn't this be expressed as a percentage rather than a dollar amount? This appears in a service fee chart for a bank in the U.S. Please let me know if you need more context. Many thanks :)

Este cargo es por el uso de las máquinas contadoras de billetes y monedas. El servicio es para los clientes que hacen enormes depósitos en efectivo, que los cajeros (seres humanos) tardarían demasiado en contar manualmente.

One thousandth of the deposited amount.
It's a thousandth per dollar.
This charge is for the use (by the teller) of bill and coin counting machines.

Susy, banks use the currency sign in this case. I would leave this untouched. The fact that they speak Spanish will not change the way figures are presented, will it? Maybe you could include an explanatory T.N.

I think this may be a marketing strategy. "One thousandth" seems to be very little.

Sorry about that! I went through all of Susana's questions, and I didn't realize this one was monolingual. Anyway, she needs the Spanish translation :))

: Yes, they mean 0.1%, or in mathematical terms, 0.001 X (the amount deposited)

thanks Conejo: that is it: if .001 is used, there has to be a mathematical sign to explain the relationship and calculation.
