one hundred and three thousand, two hundred (and - BrE) fifty-nine dollars, (and) cents thirty (cents) only

Made payable to Using English.

You only use "only" with the cents value if the total amount is less than one dollar.

If you were writing a check for $0.65, you would write it as "Only 65 cents."

(In real life this happens very rarely. If you are writing a check at the grocery store for 65 cents something is very wrong with your finances.)

In the days when I wrote cheques, I'd write "One hundred and twenty pounds only' (for example) to indicate that there were no pence.

[SoothingDave]

I was taught to write "and no cents" in that situation.

[Rover_KE]

I see no reason at all to write only on a cheque.

I learned something new today. (The "only" bit.)

I'm also not sure if there's any place that would take personal checks in that amount. I'm sure there's a threshhold over which they want a bank check.
