X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 10/08/2015 09:49 am Quote: Million, billion, trillion" notations in Indonesia are actually a bit different. Billion" (1.000.000.000) is translated to "milyar". "Trillion" (1.000.000.000.000) is translated to "bilyun" This is infact the standard in Europe too. An example of this is the (in)famous 1 Miliárd B.-pengö (Biliard pengö) at the peak of the hyperinflation in post-war Hungary. One Billion Trillion Pengö = 1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 pengö Quote: You might notice I used a dot for every thousand. Decimals there use commas, so it's reversed. This too used to be the standard in Sweden (and the rest of Europe?) up until rather recently (80's maybe?). Today, it's more common that we use spaces in between three zeroes (1 000 000), with a comma for decimals. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/08/2015 8:28 pm That rai stone! That has to be photoshopped, right?!? Actually, Yap did experience some pretty big hyperinflation when the Europeans started importing industrial quantities of the stones for trading. I thought that none were privately owned though?

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/10/2015 12:23 am There are a few that are privately owned out side the islands, Ken Hallenback has one, I believe Zerbe had one. There was one collector that conntacted the state department to intercede with the Yap government to get one for the local museum. They did and one was delivered to the museum, which happened to have the same address as the collector. Report this Post to the Staff
