| 1466986 | 2020-02-28 06:36:00 | Not $100,000,000 but I have been in an intimate relationship :eek: with $$s figures of some magnitude. In the 70s I was a director of a now defunct California corporation that chartered jet cargo aircraft carrying livestock internationally. Typically, a charter cirumnavigated the globe, and typically, the charter cost exceeeded US$1M. These things need to be paid for and in those days, cheques were a main element of the paper trail. US Banks conventionally returned the "cancelled" cheques to the entity issuing them, by that I mean once the cheque had been honoured and the amount paid, the paper usually had a series of holes punched in it and stamped in order it could not be presented again - cancelled - and after that, it was returned to the issuer. This became part of the paper trail proving payment and satisfaction of debt between the two parties. So, yours truly being a sole signatory wrote out and signed a cheque for around US$1.3M ... and the bank paid out on it. (This was but one of many, but I kept one cheque for old times sake.) Sad to say this cheque along with some other prized personal memorabilia (including a NYC/LON Concorde ticket) suffered at the hands of a vengeful now ex-wife and became no more, retreating into the mists of time. :crying |
