__NOTOC__[[Image:Bank_check_blank.jpg|frame]]
A [[Bank Check]] is a form of [[money|currency]] that can be created in amounts of up to 1 million [[gold]] coins. Regardless of the amount of gold stored in a check form, the check will weigh 1 [[stone]]. Introduced [[Publish 4|March 8, 2000]], bank checks were instituted to allow players to carry large sums of gold to facilitate player-to-player trading that was more secure. 

Despite [[Five_on_Friday_-_July_14%2C_2006|years of delay]] in fixing this problem, checks [[Publish 52|finally]] display the amount with comma separators. In the past, many an innocent player has been scammed by a less than virtuous one who hides a 100,000 check amidst 1,000,000 checks during a multi-million gold purchase. 

A character may deposit a bank check into their [[bankbox]] by dragging the check onto an NPC banker or minter. However, opening the bankbox for a direct transfer is recommended. In terms of purchases directly from a bank check, according to [[Publish_15#Update_4|official documents]], NPC Bankers no longer accept checks.

At an [[NPC]] Banker or Minter, say the word Check followed by the amount, up to 1,000,000.
:*If you have enough gold coins in your bankbox, the check you requested will appear there and the corresponding amount of coins will be debited.
:*If you do not have enough gold coins in your bankbox, you will see the following message:
