A lot of words in English have a Germanic and Latin version. The Germanic one tends to be more common in everyday use, while the Latin one tends to be more formal, a consequence of French being the language of the aristocracy back in the day.

More accurately, in English the currency type precedes the number, regardless of what currency it is.

Huh, I didn’t know that there were beardies without scales and spikes. Judging by his face, they still shed and it looks like sunburned skin peeling.
