convenience amounts may be visually read and encoded on the check by bank personnel. In this case, a large

windows for use in pressure-seal machines.

The British Pound and European currency symbols are used in place of the U.S. dollar sign for the respective
European country and can be selected to print in the audit reports. A decimal point or comma can be selected for
use with these currency symbols.
