  Koreans use 2 different sets of cardinal numbers   Most Asian counting systems are based on increments of 10,000 rather than 1,000. For   example, the number 100,000 is represented by "10 ten-thousands" rather than "100  thousands." As can be imagined, this causes much confusion for everyone when converting   numbers between Korean and other languages. If you have any doubt, verify large numbers in   writing (or on a calculator) and check the number of digits.That W500,000 antique chest may   actually be W5,000,000!
