The check line for $100
One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars
Numeral box: $100.00. In plain sentence form: One hundred dollars.
Step by step: writing $100
- Write the number in the box as $100.00. Start close to the printed dollar sign so no digit can be added in front.
- On the long line, write One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars. This is a round amount, so only “One Hundred” comes before the fraction.
- Add the cents as a fraction over 100. $100 has no cents, so write and 00/100 after the words. Use “and” only there; the dollar words themselves never contain it.
- Draw a line from the end of the words to the printed word DOLLARS so nothing can be added. If your check already prints DOLLARS, do not write it twice.
- Compare the box with the line. The UCC model rule, section 3-114 gives words precedence over numbers when they conflict, so fix or replace a check where they differ.
