Convert Numbers to Words
This little script was whipped up to convert numbers to words for use in a cheque book, it has an upper limit of 999999999 but that should take care of most sane amounts of cash. Should you require a function that needs to spell out more cash than this, my rates are $7474.00/hr 😉
