USD is for the United States Dollar not the English Pound, but that aside....

USD $13,617,597.40
or $13,617,597.40 USD

I believe either is correct, just remember to always use the Dollar Sign "$" when talking about US Dollars. Austrailia has an Austrailian Dollar aswell that uses the same "$" symbol never short change yourself always designate "USD $" for United States Dollars.

When speaking it aloud, use the word AND only to express a period, decimal or difference between dollars AND cents. Also, when writing the number out use a hyphen to designate the multiword designation for odd amounts after the hundreds place in any section...that is the definer and helps you not say the AND word until you are ready to define a decimal place.

Thirteen million six hundred seventeen thousand five hundred ninety-seven dollars AND fourty cents

Seems like a mouthful, but really using AND as the cent marker will help everyone in the later days.

The word "and", when pronouncing dollar values, is used to designate the decimal place. Also, it should be "40 cents", not point 4... we are talking about money, not a generic number. So USD 13,617,597.40 is pronouced "Thirteen million six hundred seventeen thousand five hundred ninety seven dollars and forty cents" It is proper to omit the commas... $13617597.40, but it is not proper to use "and" other than to designate where the decimal is.

If you're a Brit, then the correct way to express this is:

Thirteen million six hundred and seventeen thousand five hundred and ninety seven dollars forty

In the US they tend not to use the "and". There's a common quiz question that appears in received emails that asks, "What is the first number [written in words] that has the letter 'A' in it?" The usual answer is "One thousAnd", but I argue that in Brit. Eng. the correct answer is "A hundred And one", or "One hundred And one".

The "USD" means "US dollars," but you have the number right. Some teachers might make you say "...six hundred seventeen thousand" rather than "six hundred and seventeen thousand," but that's not a big deal.

I'd say, "thirteen million, six hundred seventeen thousand, five hundred ninety-seven dollars and forty cents."

, ₤ 13,617,597.40 and this is Thirteen million six hundred and seventeen thousand five hundred and ninety seven with 40 pennies

this is the symbol for pounds ₤
when there is less than a pound you say penny and when is more than one penny you say pennies or just p.
eg. ₤ 4.40 four pounds and 40 p.


In Slang they say for ₤ 1 (pound) ₤ 1 (quid)
a fiver = ₤ 5
a tenner = ₤ 10


etc

The U$S stands for American dollars.

USD stands for US Dollars. You wrote pounds. Other wise you are correct. However if you wish you may omit the two "ands". Or you may leave them as they are. Both ways are correct.
