It should be One hundred five dollars and sixty six cents.
Whenever you are putting numbers into words only use 'and' if there is a decimal point. The word 'dollars' always goes after the numbers but before the 'and'. The word 'cents' always goes after the numbers as well.
Hope this helps!

TKS,Derlilastern. Here you put the 'dollars' after the numbers , but if we write the amount of check ,whether we need begin with the words 'SAY US DOLLAR.... or SAY POUND STERLING ..' then write numbers ... And end with the word 'only' ? Such as : GBP105.66 We should write : SAY POUND STERLING ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE AND SIXTY SIX CENTS ONLY. or ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE POUND STERLING AND SIXTY SIX CENTS ONLY?

The word 'only' isnt really necessary on a check, it just prevents anyone from writing anything else onto it! I get the same effect by putting a line through the rest of the space.
Remember, the word 'and' ONLY replaces a decimal point. It shouldnt be used at any other time.
At least in the US, It is alawys written One hundred five US dollars and sixty six cents. The word dollar doesnt go before the numbers.
But even if you put the word before the numbers, I think it would be ok. Its just proper to put the words after the numbers!
