currency in the millions as an adjective
0
Would it be:
1) It was a $24-million project.
or
2) It was a $24 million project.
I'm thinking (2), although if I were to write it out as words, I would write "a 24-million-dollar project." But in the "currency symbol" "numeral" format, it's not like "$24" (twenty-four dollars) is modifying "million".
Anyway, any advice/wisdom would be appreciated.
