Why do we sometimes say 4700 like 'forty-seven hundred' but we would never say 47000 as "four hundred seventy hundred?"

i don't disagree, i read somewhere that belgians say septante, octante, nonante instead of the standard quatre-vignt business. it's amazing how french people never bothered to change it to something that makes more sense.
