It always looks like 30-point-000 to me.
Because 30,000 means 30-point-zero-zero-zero over here, why do you ask!? But what better should I expect of people driving on the wrong side of the road!?

Also: is it true that there is no such thing as round shoe laces in mainland Europe?
No, there are round laces, and flat ones as well. But changing with fashion it is possible that in some years the one, and in other years the other is more often to be seen. currently, flat ones are more en vogue. Round laces are still existent though, both separately, or sometimes coming with new shoes.

P.S. Da hat doch jemand zeitgleich mit mir die gleichen Pointen geangelt! Lümmel...!
