dinoblob Here's a funny little personal story I don't mind sharing to the public:
Today I had to forward an eight cent check to a bank. Yes, a paper check totaling $0.08, by snail mail. The stamp I used is worth more than the check written out to me.
This hilarious situation was because I had to roll-over some old 401k money to an IRA, but the company that held my 401k was super inefficient and mailed me a check to forward to my bank instead of sending it to them directly, so I guess in the time that the total they originally wrote out got deposited, there was just $0.08 of interest accrued or something and they mailed that to me a month later.
I hope that doesn't turn into something weird later.
