How do you say 2010?

but, in written numbers-- when you write your checks, it's "three hundred twenty-three dollars point 00/100s"?

Since I work with legal documents, we often write out dollar amounts; we always use "and," to signify the decimal

Using digits for cents is improper procedure. One part lists the amount only with digits. The longhand version would say "zero hundreths". First for security. Writing the amount two different ways also makes ambiguity difficult.

We were also taught "one hundred fifty"; not "one hundred and fifty".

"Twenty ten" or "Two thousand ten" are both clear and concise. Whereas "two oh ten" is also clear, it is not standard. Would require someone to think. That's dangerous.
