I have a question about writing checks
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 24th, 2026 3:22 PM Author: gay of hormuz so if you're writing a check for $30.10 you have to write out "thirty dollars and 10/100." ok fine. But what if it's for thirty dollars flat? Do you write "thirty dollars and 00/100" or can you just write "thirty dollars."
I've always written out the 00/100 but now I'm wondering if I've been wasting my efforts |
Date: June 24th, 2026 3:32 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., "thirty dollars exactly" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877153&forum_id=2Reputation#49961015) |

Date: June 24th, 2026 3:36 PM Author: hardcoding the talmud into copilot you write out the 0/100s because otherwise the person who you gave the check to could write out up to NINETY NINE CENTS extra for themselves since you didn't cut that option off for them (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877153&forum_id=2Reputation#49961019) |

Date: June 24th, 2026 3:42 PM Author: Biglaw partner throwin' ya some overtime what they do is write "x 100" after the amount.
"thirty dollars" "x 100" = $3,000
and just add a couple zeros to "$30" |

Date: June 24th, 2026 3:44 PM Author: hardcoding the talmud into copilot seems like it would be even easier to add an exponent, e.g. "Thirty dollars ^ 3 and 0/100s -------" and then toss the same exponent on the end of the digit box number too (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877153&forum_id=2Reputation#49961041) |

exactly also solves this |

Date: June 24th, 2026 4:00 PM Author: Ape Arrogance if you just do 0/100 they could mark it up NINETY CENTS, you need 00 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877153&forum_id=2Reputation#49961084) |

Date: June 24th, 2026 4:05 PM Author: hardcoding the talmud into copilot holy shit cr i actually never realized this
i also used to write out "zero 100s" sometimes when i wanted to be fancy. i haven't written a check in like 10 years though |

Date: June 24th, 2026 4:13 PM Author: Ape Arrogance I do zero/100 sometimes, or just "thirty dollars --------------------------" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877153&forum_id=2Reputation#49961103) |

Date: June 24th, 2026 3:49 PM Author: Panini Stone $30 xx/100 is the general rule, then in the memo line write "Thirty dollars and ZERO CENTS" because a lot of people think 'xx' means add a 40% tip (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5877153&forum_id=2Reputation#49961047) |

Date: June 24th, 2026 8:56 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., Fun fact — the written amount is considered the legal amount and the number amount is meaningless, and the instrument is valid for the legal amount even if there is a conflict.

"Thirty Dollars and Not a Single Penny More (😊)" is perfect. It is clear and to the point and yet promotes cheerfulness and empathy for the reader/interpreter |
