Really?

It's ten million of something, or (currently) about $11,000 US dollars in money.

You might also see "lakh" which is one hundred thousand of something, or about $1100 when it's used to describe money.

Now you know.

Oops, you're right. Don't do currency conversions in your head, folks.

India really needs to adopt millions and billions.
