Have we had the US thing for "hundreds"?
Generally not fussed by Americanisms, but this gets me.
$1,500? Fifteen hundred, ok sure. It's shorter than saying one thousand five hundred. Likewise seventeen hundred, but they just keep going...
$5,000? Fifty hundred! Come on. $7,000? Seventy hundred! Dude, wtf!? $10,000? Hundred hundred! plz stop!

It only really works for an amount of hundreds not divisible by 10. i.e. forty five hundred works but forty hundred doesn't.
That makes sense. But I still think 2k is the cut-off. After that people need to go back to proper numbers.
But, 4500 is divisible by 10?
