It's a lot easier when your money is counted the same way.

Haha Yea, it took me longer to learn the terms for counting. So I'm pretty confident remembering most of them off top of my head right away.

To be fair, you're never going to need anything beyond 万. Maybe rarely 億 or 兆. But probably not. I mean, unless you're having a very educated discussion about some scientific data, when the heck are you going to need 100M or 1T? Heck, I only know 一、十、百、千、万、億、兆、京 (1;10;100;1000;10,000;100M;1T;10 Quadrillion).

Outside of talking about disk storage space, I never talk about numbers that large unless I'm referring to population of a country. And that's rare. This is likely why I was not taught beyond 億 in school; I might have only been taught up to 万...
