Dollars, pounds and euro in words.
Pick a currency and type an amount. The converter writes it the way invoices and cheques expect — with cents, pence or euro-cents, and the right "and" style for US or UK English.

How each currency is written
| Currency | Example (1500.50) | Minor unit |
|---|---|---|
| US Dollar | One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars and 50/100 | cents as a fraction over 100 |
| British Pound | One Thousand Five Hundred Pounds and Fifty Pence | pence in words |
| Euro | One Thousand Five Hundred Euros and Fifty Cents | cents in words |
US wording omits "and" inside the number ("One Hundred One"); British wording keeps it ("One Hundred and One"). The converter applies the right style for the currency you choose. For whole amounts, sterling and euro lines end in "Only", while the dollar line uses "and 00/100".
Need the Indian rupee instead? Use the rupee converter on the home page — it switches to lakh and crore.
Questions
- How do I write cents on a US check?
- As a fraction: "and 50/100" for fifty cents, "and 00/100" for a whole amount. See the US check guide.
- Why does the pound version say "and" but the dollar one doesn't?
- British English places "and" before the final tens and units; American English usually omits it. Both are standard in their own region.
