I believe we use it because the Roman numeral for 1000 is M and M X M would be 1,000,000.

This is what I've always understood... (1000K = 1mm) and (1000mm = 1b)

It feels like this should be 1/1000 of a dollar.

A lot reports will also note that the numbers quoted are in the millions.

I've seen both. I think $1MM is less confusing though.

IIRC historically it was $1MM, but in those days nobody even knew what the word

M means a thousand in Roman numerals. So it's confusing.
