A Bank Check is a form of 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 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.
