Spelling out numbers has language-specific rules. In Spanish, for example, there are apocopes (un/uno, veintiún), single-word forms (veintiuno) and gender agreement (doscientas pesetas, doscientos euros); mil is invariable, but millón takes a plural.
Decimals
Cents are usually expressed as "con 50/100" or in words. Check the format required by the document you are issuing.
