28,358,292,110 Is this twenty eight billion, three hundred fifty eight million, two hundred ninety two thousand, one hundred and ten dollars if it is written out?

4A reader wouldn't know that you meant dollars unless you included a dollar sign ($) before the number or the word dollars after it.– Sven YargsCommented Jun 6, 2017 at 21:48

3Yes, barring a dyslexic episode, that's how you'd write it. But note that very few publications would use that form for such a large number, preferring to either use decimal digits or approximate it using something like "a little over twenty-eight billion dollars".– Hot LicksCommented Jun 6, 2017 at 21:51

2Some people would put hyphens between words like "twenty-eight" and "fifty-eight," etc. Just as @HotLicks did. For instance, take a look at this check.– RaceYouAnytimeCommented Jun 6, 2017 at 21:56

1I would move the 'and' out unless I had cents: one hundred ten dollars, or one hundred ten dollars and nine cents.– Yosef BaskinCommented Jun 6, 2017 at 22:32

1American vs. British English: meaning of “One hundred and fifty” You'd never say one hundred and fifty TENS would you? Then why is there an and in there? "When saying or writing out numbers, the British insert an and before the tens and units, as in one hundred and sixty-two or two thousand and three. In the United States it is considered correct to drop the and, as in one hundred sixty-two or two thousand three."– MazuraCommented Jun 6, 2017 at 22:59
