Numbers and JAWS

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to accessibility in HTML and I am currently helping a bank
create a JAWS friendly site. I have a couple of questions I hope someone can
answer.
I am displaying an account number in a formatted behaviour, ie 1234 1234
1234 1234 but I was hoping to get JAWS to read each digit as opposed to 4
numbers. Does Anyone know of any tags, attributes or tricks to help with this?
We are supporting JAWS 4.5 so CCS 2 audible styles are not a possible solution
unfortunately.
My second question is if there is any way to make a reader interperet
currency figures such as $123.00 as "one hundered and twenty three dollars"
instead of "dollar one hundered and twenty three"? Any assistance anyone could
provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Todd.
