btw... they're not 'dashes'... they're 'hyphens'...
a 'dash' is used to separate words, a hyphen to connect them...

To be perfectly accurate, and regard this only within the form you have given, the correct manner to write it is like this: One-thousand and three-hundred. You would also write eighty-seven, sixty-nine and twenty-four.

Quote:
The dash only connects the decade names (twenty through ninety) and the units that follows them, even when they appear before a multiplier name. For example: Sixty-three thousand, four hundred and seventy-one.
