Rules for Writing Amounts in English Words
The standard format for an English amount in words is: SAY + currency name + amount in words + ONLY. When handling multi-currency documents, use the currency converter to estimate the amount, then use the RMB uppercase tool for Chinese documents. If the amount contains decimals, there are three ways to express them: the cents form, which marks the decimal point with CENTS, e.g. USD888.88 becomes SAY US DOLLARS EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-EIGHT AND CENTS EIGHTY-EIGHT ONLY; the point form, which marks the decimal point with POINT, e.g. USD888.88 becomes SAY US DOLLARS EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-EIGHT AND POINT EIGHTY-EIGHT ONLY; and the fraction form, which writes the two digits after the decimal point as a percentage, e.g. USD888.88 becomes SAY US DOLLARS EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-EIGHT AND EIGHTY-EIGHT 88/100 ONLY.
