I am a UK citizen and I say the following.. One thousand three hundred and thirty two dollars and fifteeeen cents or Thirty hundred and thirty two dollars and fifteeeen cents (I have heard people say this and I think it sounds terrible) Mebbe its a European way of saying amounts as I agree with Tore, although the majority of the time the "and" is only used when there are 10's in the descriptive amount (be it in millions or thousands, etc) and/or there are cents. One hundred and eighty dollars and fifteeeen cents One hundred dollars and fifteeeen cents One billion, two hundred and twenty five million, two dollars and fifteeeen cents Five Billion, three hundred and eighty-nine million, two hundred and two dollars and fifteeeen cents. Didn't really want to mention it but the whole US/UK Billion thing is gonna mess this up (unless you are not selling billion dollar merchandise of course, but you never know ;-) )...
