<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2122421, member: 24274&quot;]But here&#039;s the big boy of the bunch! Not so much for the nice vignette (although it&#039;s a litho), but for the amount of the check: $500,000! That equates to well over $16 million in today&#039;s dollars. A member of another forum dug up a short article from a trade paper of the period. The check was for a loan to a major steel company.</p><p><br /></p><p>All three of these together cost me less than $20, which is one reason I like check collecting -- lots of affordable items with eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any other members who&#039;d like to add to this thread? Let&#039;s see your old checks!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]402539[/ATTACH] <img src="http://www.stampcommunity.org/uploaded/wt1/20150225_UnionIron.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
