The they in your sentence, at one point in time, referred to me and my three buddies who worked for Commerce Bank back in the oughts. They left four kids, one of them 18 and the rest 17, in charge of a bank sometimes. I may be personally responsible for commerce bank ceasing to exist.

I see. I assumed you meant the words because you put the words in your comment.
Seems like a good idea to do both, as you say.
I don't really write a lot of checks any more.

Pretty sure the printing out of the amount with letters prevents that.
One hundred dollars -------xx/00

You could do a similar thing for the other style:
100$
Vs
-------- 100$
I would write it $100, but only because it's convention, either method has the same issue and solutions.

100.00$ vs $100.00 I guess? Though I suppose you could turn the period into a comma.
-
To a large extent yes. The only exception I know is, like @dont_lemmee_down@lemm.ee mentioned, Portugal that used the 100$00 format and now uses the 0.5€ format.

$100$
Use them like quotes to cover all your bases.

sweden does something similarly weird. we don't have a currency symbol (unless you count "kr") so the standard way to write a price is "20:-", which used to be "20kr, 0öre", with the colon as the decimal separator and the line added so you couldn't write in another value, but then we switched decimal separator for currency to "," and ":-" just became the symbol for "money".
you even occasionally see abominations like "19,90:-"...

Like spanish question marks, it's good that you put the first $ upside down.

LaTeX: ok, I'll print out 100 in math mode. No problem
-
It's interesting that you have :- as the symbol for money when here :- is the symbol for forgetting to give your ASCII smiley a mouth.
-
We also sometimes use ,- effectively as a symbol for money. I assume it has same origin but could be used as 19,90 ,-
Thouhg I think you'd only use it on handwritten stuff, didn't see it in the wild for a long time now that I think about it

I think the French write 1€50 iirc. At least I think I've seen it at their gas stations? Does indeed look bad.

In the US, $ comes before a number, and ¢ comes after. It helps differentiate them at a glance. $1.50 or 75¢
You only use one symbol at a time.Not all that many uses for the ¢ left these days, I suppose.
