Large numbers are represented by adding a suffix in a similar way that computer memory is measured, the difference is that computer memory works in multiples of 1024 bytes to make 1 kilobyte; 1024 kilobytes to make 1 megabyte and so on.
Pirates! uses pure multipliers of 1,000. So 1,000,000 doubloons is the same as 1M doubloons; 1,000M doubloons is the same as 1B doubloons; etc.
In the table below, the value is represented as a power of 10 - that means that the number after the carat is the number of zeroes following the 1.
