No. State statutes indicate that when dealing with negotiable instruments, words prevail over numbers. In the same way, handwritten items prevail over printed or typewritten items.
I wrote a check/share draft for $89 but incorrectly wrote out the amount as “eight-hundred and ninety dollars.” The credit union paid it as $890. Shouldn't the credit union have paid according to the numeral?
