Greetings,
Actually, the Roman numeral for five thousand is a "V" with a line over
it. The line means one thousand; thus a hundred thousand is "C" with the
line, a million is "M" with the line. I trust that noone wants to get into
years higher than that.
Did you know the Roman numeral for the
>year 2000 is MM? Hey, how about "the MMillenium?" ("... 2005 Ford. The
>car of the MMillenium!" That works, huh?) M&M's candy is going to have a
>field day! Imagine the year 5000! MMMMM....what a thought.
