How long has the number 7 typically had a line through it to insure that it is read as a seven and not something else? I notice this in the BC application number.

7 with a line through it is a European (also English) and has been used since the earlist days of our colonies. Check out old account books and you will see it frequently. Perhaps the better question would be, when did we STOP using a line through our 7s? LOL.

I still cross 7’s also 0’s and my 1’s are just like upside down capital T’s, for me its from military training in communications.
