I won a prize in the Clearinghouse sweepstakes about 25 years ago.
I got a check for 10 cents.
I deposited it much to the puzzlement of the teller.

I once got an offer from Reader’s digest to get a book for ten cents, and it featured a cheque in that amount- the hook was that you get it for a dime and they pay for it- just endorse the cheque and mail it back. I cashed it.

Good, probably cost the bank a buck to do the transaction.
