The comma boundary separates 91 from 201: “ninety-one thousand” is read before “two hundred one”.
The tens position contains zero. It preserves place value in the numeral but adds no spoken word.
The spelling contains one hyphen. Each hyphen joins a tens word to a non-zero ones word inside the same two-digit group.
