The check line for $145
One Hundred Forty-Five and 00/100 Dollars
Numeral box: $145.00. In plain sentence form: One hundred forty-five dollars.
Step by step: writing $145
- Write the number in the box as $145.00. Start close to the printed dollar sign so no digit can be added in front.
- On the long line, write One Hundred Forty-Five and 00/100 Dollars. Work left to right: One Hundred, then Forty-Five. Hyphenate the tens and ones: Forty-Five.
- Add the cents as a fraction over 100. $145 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.
