لک • (lak) (Persian numeral ۱ ۰ ۰ ۰ ۰ ۰)

In Afghanistan, لک is most commonly used in reference to currency, elsewhere صد هزار (sad hazār) tends to be used instead. Though لک could technically be used to count anything, using it to count non-monetary items is uncommon.
When used in Afghanistan numbers are still grouped by thousands, and the Indian number grouping is never used (so it is written as ۱۰۰٬۰۰۰ (100,000) and never as ۱٬۰۰٬۰۰۰ (1,00,000)). The Indian number grouping may be seen in Mughal Persian, though.
