Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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
That's the text portion, not the numeric portion.
Oh, I still do the $100.°/oo~~~~ in the numeric section too.
I see. I assumed you meant the words because you put the words in your comment.
Seems like a good idea to do both, as you say.
I don't really write a lot of checks any more.
You could do a similar thing for the other style:
100$
Vs
-------- 100$
I would write it $100, but only because it's convention, either method has the same issue and solutions.
100.00$ 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.
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.
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
