But Wikipedia says that only English and French speakers actually use checks. Since the international representation is a bit broader here than there, I'm bringing the question here:

Do you write enough checks to make it worthwhile to get the special forms and set up check printing in Gnucash? When (if) you write a check, do you write the word-amount as "one two three four and five-three cents" or as "one thousand two hundred thirty-four and fifty-three cents"?

Hi John, in the Netherlands people that use GnuCash will also use online 
bank accounts. The people use checks mostly do not have computers. I 
expect it not to be worth while for the Netherlands.
