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.
By putting the dollar sign first on checks it prevents someone from changing 100$ into 1100$
You could do the same if the dollar sign is on the other side though.
$100
$1000
But that’s why you put the “and no cents ~~~~~~~~” at the end
You could do a similar thing for the other style:
100$
Vs
-------- 100$
I would write it $100, but only because it’s convention, either method has the same issue and solutions.
That’s the text portion, not the numeric portion.
Oh, I still do the $100.°/oo~~~~ in the numeric section too.
I see. I assumed you meant the words because you put the words in your comment.
Seems like a good idea to do both, as you say.
I don’t really write a lot of checks any more.
100.00$ vs $100.00 I guess? Though I suppose you could turn the period into a comma.
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.

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.
1000
Pretty sure the printing out of the amount with letters prevents that.
One hundred dollars -------xx/00
