Question

Thanks a lot to everyone! Could it be read ' five hundred k' as well, couldn't it? 
Are there other ways, maybe in countries with English as L2?

Answer

Yes it could
Five Hundred "k" (Thousand)
In America and sometimes here, people say, "G" for "Grand".
But "K" is Kilo which means thousand.

Answer

It can only be read as "five hundred k" when talking about sums of money. In no other situation could you read it that way, so you would have to say "five hundred thousand" or "half a million".

Answer

You could say that if you wanted to.. it means the same thing.  500.000. or half a million.. whatever feels better to you..
