In a legal setting even those long numbers are still spelled out in contracts in many jurisdictions.
Ludicrous!
Although they did get spelled out on checks on the whole days as a anti-fraud counter measure.
They still get spelled out on checks today.
There are still checks today?
Yes, I will be writing one to pay my rent later today.
We still have a couple of fairly large companies that pay us by check. I hate it because our finance office requires that it be deposited immediately and it disrupts my day.
It’s important to spell out numbers in addition to writing them when it comes to important documents and such
It helps you verify the numbers are accurate
In the old days? I still do it. Just not that often.
