Yeah, I've seen/held checks for upwards of half a million dollars, but nothing over a million dollars. It really IS a lot of zeros!
Of course the biggest check I've ever *written* was for the down payment on my house. That was a little painful actually - even knowing that it was just about twenty percent of the purchase price - so for that chunk of money I got twenty percent of my house. I now own about fifty percent of my house...
