In formal written number style, the "and" does denote a decimal point. I don't know how British English does it, but in American English it does. I bet I can find an authority. But my Gregg's reference manual is at work.

Edit: Okay, not covered in the Chicago Manual of Style. Monster, how do you write numbers out on your checks?
