This trick is rather limited, as it runs out of steam at amounts somewhat greater than my salary.

Best go to asktom.oracle.com for this, I recall seeing a rather good one there that had much higher limits.

I got this off of metalink:

select to_char( to_date( &&1, 'J' ), 'jsp' ) from dual;

SQL> select to_char( to_date( 123,'J'), 'jsp') from dual; TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(123,'J')

one hundred twenty-three

SQL> select to_char( to_date( 123,'J'), 'Jsp') from dual; TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(123,'J')

One Hundred Twenty-Three

SQL> select to_char( to_date( 123,'J'), 'JSP') from dual; TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(123,'J')

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-THREE I suspect there is an upper limit imposed by some integer conversion or julian date thingy...
