          You could do a similar thing for the other style:

          100$

          Vs

          -------- 100$

          I would write it $100, but only because it’s convention, either method has the same issue and solutions.

              I see. I assumed you meant the words because you put the words in your comment.

              Seems like a good idea to do both, as you say.

              I don’t really write a lot of checks any more.

      aren’t they supposed to look at the fully written out

      “One hundred dollars 0/100” part of the check. Either way someone can slip in a 1 or a zero somewhere in the paper.

        The they in your sentence, at one point in time, referred to me and my three buddies who worked for Commerce Bank back in the oughts. They left four kids, one of them 18 and the rest 17, in charge of a bank sometimes. I may be personally responsible for commerce bank ceasing to exist.

      I had to write a check a few months ago, it was like divining an ancient language.

      It cleared through, so I guess I got it right.
