A written check does not have to be on an officially printed form.

A legal check can, and has been, written on just about anything.

The rules are simple.

The amount must be written both numerically and spelled out in longhand, and the name of the bank and thepayee must appear, as well as the signature of the person drafting the check.

Checks have been written on napkins, T-shirts, and rocks.

A birthday cake with the proper information written in icing was cashed in at one bank.

The largest check (size-wise) to be cashed was a 70 foot by 30 foot check written by an English company and presented to a television station fund-raising event for $19,000.
