How to write an amount on invoice officially
Hi, if you write an amount on invoice officially with English words not numbers, for example, US$2,123,456.78? I usually write: Say total US Dollars 1 million one hundred twenty three thousand four hundred fifty six cents seventy eight only. It is correct or not?
How will American write it?

Agree with srgause. Here is how I would write it on a check (if only I had $2m to spend!!! ;) )
$2,123,456.78
Two million, one hundred and twenty-three thousand, four hundred and fifty-six and 78/100 US Dollars (or USD)
or ... fifty-six dollars and 78 cents

An American would only put the dollar amount on an invoice (using numbers, not words). We write amounts in words on checks, but that is the only time.
