Bars use one color per country (identity only, not a value judgment) and a shared linear scale so length is the only channel carrying magnitude. Border style — solid vs. dashed/hatched — carries data-quality/structure, not a second measure of size. UK converted at ~1.28 USD/GBP. US and UK figures are published ("sticker") rates before financial aid, shown because they're the only figures structurally comparable to Germany/Italy/Greece's published rates. A "net of aid" figure is deliberately omitted here rather than shown as a single average: aid is income-scaled, not flat, and we don't yet have a sourced income-quintile breakdown that would let a range be shown honestly rather than invented.
