There was an effort to approach spoken and writen speech.
Before the introduction of the Euro in my country we would speak and write XXXX$XX, meaning X amount, then declare the currency, followed by X of cents.
Nowadays we just state X,X€. So X amount, with X amount of cents, then state the currency.

Speech followed writing.
X,X€? So would that be “twenty, fifteen cents euros?”
In the us, we say “twenty dollars and fifteen cents”, and write it as $20.15 which seems like it’s the same as your old system. X$.xx in speech
You’ve read it backwards. Its $15.20 Or to be exact 15.20€. So its spoken 15 Euros, 20.
