(Native speakers with business background is most expected)Thanks. natkretepModerato con anima (English Only)SingaporeEnglish (Singapore/UK), basic ChineseJul 11, 2014#2Do you want the amount written in words as in for a cheque?Writing the currency first is probably considered old fashioned now, but is not impossible. I would write 'US dollars thirteen thousand, five hundred and eight, and cents twenty only' - dollars in the plural and a couple of commas added.Or today's style: 'Thirteen thousand, five hundred and eight US dollars, and twenty cents only'.S SmaulerSenior MemberIpswich, Suffolk, EnglandBritish EnglishJul 11, 2014#3...
