English correction: "nomber" change to number. - Jubilado, Aug 17, 2013

Mil millones y un billón. Use un punto después del primero uno.. (Use a period after the first "1".) And yes, that takes a little getting used to that a trillion is call "billón". Fortunately, I would only have to use that number when talking about the national budget or national debt.

American English (just in case you want to know):
1,000,000 = one million
1,000,000,000 = one billion
1,000,000,000,000 = one trillion.
I think British English uses different names for billion and trillion.

Strictly in British English one billion is a million million, at is it in Spanish, however I think that in normal usage we pretty much use the American... - afowen, Aug 17, 2013
Isn't a million million a trillion instead of a billion? - AnnRon, Aug 17, 2013
