    As an American, it would be weird for me to see it as a decimal, however I can’t say I’ve ever really thought about it. It’s just “traditional” for checks to be written that way here, and how we’re taught in school.

      Also American and I’ve always used decimal in the numerical box and the fraction in the spelled out line.
