it looks like again the currency is using a already documented acessibility problem of abusing the abbr tag.<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 19px; ">
<pre style="padding-top: 1em; padding-right: 1em; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 1em; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: dashed; border-right-style: dashed; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-left-style: dashed; border-top-color: rgb(47, 111, 171); border-right-color: rgb(47, 111, 171); border-bottom-color: rgb(47, 111, 171); border-left-color: rgb(47, 111, 171); color: black; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249); line-height: 1.1em; ">
this costs <div class="money">

        </pre></span><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>The semantic correct way that a screen reader should read this, according to the specification of waht abbr stands for wil be:</div><div>-this costs U.S.D
.</div><div><br> </div><div>screen readers are taught to , when encoutering and abbr, to read the title instead of the content, that's why abbr was created. This already happens in other microformats and is an error. I see no good reason not to use a <span> instead.
