Tips for this amount
- No “and” after hundred. On a check, “and” separates dollars from cents, so write “One hundred fifty”, not “one hundred and fifty”.
- Start writing at the far left of each line and draw a line through the empty space to DOLLARS.
- Words win. If the numbers and the words differ, the bank pays the amount in words (UCC § 3-114).
Skip the handwriting: type the payee and amount, and CheckWriter prints the words and the whole check on blank stock or pre-printed checks.

Questions
How do I write $150 in words on a check?
One hundred fifty and 00/100. The fraction shows the cents; 00/100 means no cents.
Can I write “no/100” instead of “00/100”?
Yes. Both mean zero cents and banks accept either. Some people write xx/100.
