I decided to stick with pynum2word, tweaking it a bit to add a
to_check method which does something similar to your suggestion,
above.  I wanted the 'and' only between the dollars and cents so I
made that change, too.  The first checks came out of the printer on
Friday.  Yippee, no more hand written checks!

Eric.
