How it works

Numbers are written in groups of three digits — ones, thousands, millions, billions and trillions. Each group is written as hundreds, tens and ones, with hyphens for compound numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine. On a US check, write the dollar amount in words followed by the cents over 100, for example “Two hundred fifty and 75/100”, and draw a line through the empty space to prevent changes.
