Writing it on a document

An amount is written out in full next to the figures so that the two check each other. If the digits are altered, the words no longer match.

The cents are written as a plain count, not as a fraction. 50 cents, not 50/100.

South African rand. Rand does not take a plural: fifteen hundred rand, never rands. South African banks stopped offering cheques at the end of 2020, so an amount in rand here is for a contract, an offer to purchase, an invoice or schoolwork, not a cheque.

Other amounts

Not accounting advice. This is the ordinary English wording. Your bank or the law where you are may require a particular form, and nothing here guarantees that an amount written this way will satisfy it. See the disclaimer.
