What is the most exciting yet most useless item you could ever imagine? Why, the giant check, of course! Think about it: it's an over-sized replica of a form of payment that only represents real money. You can't exchange it for legal tender or even use to barter for actual goods! The giant check was invented merely for the visual representation of money exchange, and that's why we love it.

Since the big check is all about the big payoff -- i.e. the photographed evidence that you received your BIG CHECK and all the notoriety that comes with it, we thought we'd feature some of our favorite big check shots. Where do big checks go after they are "cashed"?
