Usage notes

Since this number does not have a m-based form, similar to other multiples of ten afterwards, if it's describing a total number of items, it comes before the noun.

Ọ̀ọ́dúnrún dọ́là ni.It's three hundred dollars.

However, if it is describing an ordinal sequence, it comes after the noun.

Ọmọ ọ̀ọ́dúnrún l'ó jẹ́.She's the three hundredth child.
