When I was about 7 I thought checks were special bills with no predetermined value. When you wanted to pay for something, you could turn a check into a bill for the specific amount of money you were paying by writing the amount on it. Very convenient, wasn't it? But then I thought about the person receiving the check and wondered if they were ever going to find a use for that specific amount of money.
