My Spanish speaking friends may see this as a mispronunciation of "tres mil cinco ciento", or 3500. This however, is simply how those numbers are said. In fact, Chileans tend to cut off half-way through their words.
Needless to say, the big language barrier is much worse here in Chile.
Update: apparently the latter is how you say 500 in Spanish. Still, 900 is different here.
