So there is no confusion between the number 1 and 7.

Don't know if there's specfic reason for it. I agree with the people above, it's not confuse 1 and 7. I do it too, i'm not an accountant or a doc.

as quickly as I lived in Spain my "commonly used" 7 replaced into frequently improper for a form a million. They write a a million love it somewhat is shown here (a million) not basically a line (l), so the 7 has a line by using it (which i ultimately adapted to).

yea what she said,
doctors do it too, so they don't mess up the facts and get fired. like if they meant to give the patient 1mg. of some drug and they gave the patinet 7 mg. it wouldn't be a good thing
so to avoid confuision they slash their 7s

it is the correct way to write the # and a forward slash through the # zero also. not in just accounting

So they don't get it confused with one. See 1,7, kind of similar.
