0Hello all,02br
02br
00And when it is a formal document , do we have to write the numbers as a single word? For example in an invoice would it be like;02br
02br
00only onethousandfivehundredsixtyfivedollars and nintyfourcents02br
02br
00thanks in advance050010id1

0No you don't put USD at the start (but you might want to use American dollars if there is any possibility of confusion over which currency you mean).02br
02br
00No, you don't join all the words up.02br
02br
00But on an invoice, or most documents, you wouldn't write the amount in this way. You would write the figures.0-

00The comma is often omitted. You would also omit the 'US' if you were writing in the USA, for example, where US currency is assumed.02br
