Paul, re post 3887, hope this helps.

A crore (Devanagari: करोड़, Urdu alphabet: کروڑ) is a unit in the Indian numbering system, still widely used in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. It was also used in Iran for many centuries until some decades ago.

An Indian crore is equal to 100 lakhs or 10 million (107). An Iranian crore (کرور (Korur) in Persian) is half a million (500,000).

This system of measurement also introduces separators into numbers in a different place than that which is common outside India. For example, 30 million (3 crores) would be written as 3,00,00,000, with commas at the thousand, lakh, and crore levels, instead of 30,000,000.

The unit is also known as Koti in the Bengali (Bengali: কোটি), Telugu, Kannada, Konkani and Marathi language speaking areas while Kodi (Tamil : கோடி) is used in Tamil and Malayalam.

The Mumbai underworld slang for a crore is a khokha.
