I just went through it - go to JAWS on your Desktop, then to Utilities, then to settings then to text processing. It is in text processing that you get your speak dollar. Mike might be able to explain better, because sometimes, I kind of fish, but if you don't hear from him soon, I think this would get you there.

For instance $86.75 was announced by JAWS as “Eighty six dollars and seventy five cents”. But on my refurbed Windows 7 machine running JAWS 15, this amount is announced as “Dollar eighty six point seven five”. How can I adjust JAWS 15 to announce monetary amounts in the latter format rather than as a string of characters? I could not find anysettings in the Settings Center to accomplish this. Thanks.
