Money is one of the most important in our lives. Surely many of us use the 'K' character when we mean thousands of coins. If someone has 30 thousand rupees, then write '30 K '. But do you know where it came from?


In Greek words, thousands of meanings are 'kylio'. That means, the Greeks used 'kilioi' to understand 1000. Later the French started using this unit. In the hands of the French, the Greek word 'kylio' becomes 'kilo'. In order to become familiar with the metric system, the French became familiar. Starting to write 'kilo' as 1000.

With the expansion of business, the world is going to become more popular in the world. But 1000-and-a-days could not survive the same way. 1000 liters, instead of 1000 grams, new words like kilograms, kilograms, kilotons were introduced. These words are quite big. To save time, 'K' starts writing. It turns out that 10,000 gets '10K ', 20,000 becomes '20k'. And from then on, thousands of 'K' began to circulate.
