Step by step: writing $600

  1. Write the number in the box as $600.00. Start close to the printed dollar sign so no digit can be added in front.
  2. On the long line, write Six Hundred and 00/100 Dollars. This is a round amount, so only “Six Hundred” comes before the fraction.
  3. Add the cents as a fraction over 100. $600 has no cents, so write and 00/100 after the words. Use “and” only there; the dollar words themselves never contain it.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
