2999 -- both "two thousand nine hundred ninety nine" AND "twenty nine ninety nine"
I think some native speakers might use "nineteen ninety nine" and "twenty nine ninety nine" because, in our home countries, we see prices like this all the time. For example, if you hear an ad on the TV in the US, and the price is $29.99, you will likely heard someone say "twenty nine ninety nine", because it's shorter than saying "twenty nine dollars and ninety nine cents".
「nineteen ninety nine」「twenty nine ninety nine」と言うネイティブもいるかもしれません。それは、いつも自分たちの国で、こういう値段を見ているからです。例えば、アメリカのテレビの宣伝で、値段が「$29.99」だったら：
"twenty nine ninety nine"
↑こう言うことが多いと思います。この方が「twenty nine dollars and ninety nine cents」より短いですから。
When writing down a number from a digits form into a worded form in English we always begin with the larger digits first and finish with the smallest digit.
For example, If i wanted to word 152, I would say 'one hundred and fifty two'. Starting with the hundred which is the greater number than the fifty two.
or an even bigger number like 11368 would be 'eleven thousand, three hundred and sixty eight'. So here I am dealing with the greater number of eleven thousand first and finishing with the smallest number of sixty eight.
