In a sentence

いちまんえん一万円10,000 yen

10,000 yen!

How it works

Japanese builds big numbers in blocks of ten-thousand, so 一万いちまん (ten thousand) is literally いち (one) ten-thousand. The counter えん (yen) attaches directly to the number with no particle in between, and the (!) marks it as an excited exclamation rather than a calm statement.
