10,000 yen is pronounced as ichi-man en (いちまんえん) in Japanese. It literally translates to "one ten-thousand yen" ( 1 × 10 , 000 1 × 1 0 , 0 0 0 yen). In some contexts, it may also be referred to as a "yukichi" (after the person on the bill) or simply "man en".
Then for 100,000 yen, about $1,000, it's 'ten ten thousands', 10万 Ju-man. For 100,000,000 it's not 'one hundred million', it's 'one one hundred million', 一億, Ichi-oku. Simple.
This is a uniquely Japanese slang term used as another name for the 10,000 yen bill. It is read as “yukichi”. Example 1: It is time to use the last yukichi of the month. Example 2: I won three yukichi at a horse race.

Why is $1000 called a rack?
The way cash literally stacks up. Picture $1000 in $100 bills—ten bills in a neat banded pile. That pile looks like a little rack, just like the word for a shelf that holds stuff. The connection stuck, and the word took off among anyone talking about large amounts of cash, not just musicians or hustlers on the street.
Oi – オイ This is a highly informal way in Japanese culture to get someone's attention. A lot like the English version of, “Hey!” – But even less polite.
It's important to note that “hyaku (hundred)” changes pronunciation when following certain numbers. After 3, it becomes “byaku” and after 6 and 8 it becomes “pyaku”. This is a pronunciation phenomenon called “rendaku,” or sequential voicing. You will also see this in words like 花火 (“hanabi” – fireworks).
The symbol 々 is called an Ideographic Iteration Mark, or informally noma (ノマ) in Japanese, and it functions as a ditto mark to repeat the preceding kanji, indicating plurality or reduplication (e.g., 人々 means hitobito, "people"). Its formal names include dōnojiten (同の字点, "same character mark") or odoriji (踊り字, "dancing character").
As noted above, yon (4) and nana (7) are preferred to shi and shichi. It is purported that this is because shi is also the reading of the word death (死), which makes it an unlucky reading (see tetraphobia); while shichi may sound too similar to ichi (1), shi or hachi (8).
There are a few adopted Japanese terms of endearment, namely ダーリン (daarin) and ハニー (hanii) that we see floating around sometimes. These correspond to the English words “darling” and “honey,” in case you hadn't guessed.
Konnichiwa is a common greeting for Japanese people. It's a general “hello” and can be used throughout the day – though early in the morning or late at night you'd be wiser to use ohayou and konbanwa.
This abbreviation comes from the metric prefix 'kilo-', which means a factor of one thousand, and it's frequently seen in discussions about salaries, prices, or any monetary figures. For instance, when someone mentions earning 50K a year, they are referring to an annual income of $50,000.
For £50, common Cockney slang terms include "Bullseye," referencing the bullseye on a dartboard for hitting the number 50, and also "Half a Ton," as £50 is half of £100 (a "ton"). Other less common or related terms might be "Pinky" (for the note) or even "Nifty," though these aren't as universally known as Bullseye.
