    I learned the roman number system back in elementary school I believe it was 1970 the number is 1921 and to this day I haven’t forgotten it…………

    I always remember Roman numerals this way: M=1,000 as in mil in Spanish, mille in French for one thousand. C=100 as in cent, cien, ciento for hundred. And the other numerals you just have to remember. Think I’ll teach it to the kids today.
