In America, yes. In the UK, no (although it is getting more common with younger people I find)
I heard a theory that it’s because Americans have $100 bills, whereas the UK only goes up to £50. So counting up in hundreds is more natural in America
I’ve heard in German, though we also have bills >100€. But I don’t think that’s the reason for it. Fifteen hundred is a lot shorter to say than one thousand five hundred and it’s roughly the same length in German. I think I’ve only heard it for numbers <2000 and with the last two digits being 0.
Isn’t generally common to have two digit hundred numbers if they are more convenient / shorter to say than with thousand?
