For decades, I'd write out the amount field as:

          29
    $1234 --
          00

as I was taught that was the correct way to do it. Suddenly, I was getting dunning notices saying I'd only paid $12.34. This happened simultaneously across different accounts. Clearly, the software had changed.

So now I write $1234.29, and everyone is happy.
