An extra zero?

I wrote a check for $1,200, but Bank of America took $12,000!  I was rather over-drawn.

The online check image looks very clear and readable and the words clearly say “twelve hundred” in my engineer all-capital writing.

I was notified to this by the online application Mint. It sent me an email saying I had a “low balance” on this account  Thanks, Mint!

UPDATE: Turns out the submitting bank requested the wrong amount.  Everything looks back to normal and they said they can re-submit it correctly.  Makes me wonder how it got through the cracks, though.
