$m or $mm

$m or $mm?

I prefer $m.

There is only one 'm' in millions.

While M = 1000 in Roman numerology and M^2 = MM, that's a weak-arse justification and an unnecessary letter.

The second m is redundant. Who the hell would confuse $m as referring to anything other than millions.

Can anyone justify $mm on any basis other than "it's a stupid industry custom"?

Educate me.
