Like on a cheque, you would write the numerals in the box and write it
out in full on the line as a means of a security checksum. Doing it
the other way round would probably get the cheque rejected (even
though you might be able to write a cheque out on plain paper)?

Many years (decades actually) ago I read in thesmall print that my bank would still pay a cheque even if it had "technical irregularities". I asked what those were. The list included "words and numbers do not agree". I asked in that case which do they pay. The said it was whichever the payee chose.
