A few months ago, I decided to close my x.com account, fearful that I would be charged a $12 fee for having an account balance less than $100. So, I transferred my remaining balance over to my regular checking account via an electronic transaction, which allowed me to successfully close my account without a snag online. However, apparently because of the delay in processing the transaction, I accumulated 2 cents of interest before my account was officially closed. Therefore, a few weeks later, I received a check for $0.02 in the mail. I opened the envelope and just laughed to myself because that was all that was contained inside. Who writes a check for $0.02 anyway?? Needless to say, I will not be cashing that check; rather, I might get it framed and hang it on the wall. Nah, I will hang on to it though. I definitely won't be walking into the bank and handing the teller this check. It wouldn't be wort the cost of the gas to drive two blocks to the bank. Although, it would be amusing to see the look on the teller's face when he/she sees my attempt to cash a 2 cent check! :laugh:
