Unfortunately, one no longer gets physical checks, instead, one gets an account in The Bank of the Island of San Seriffe:

(unfortunately, I have yet to find another typo since getting my $2.88 for _Digital Typography_)

Close enough. If I ever got such a check it would be professionally framed and hung on my wall. As would most people reading this.

You still get a physical piece of paper that looks like a check; it's just not a valid check.

It can still be cashed in, though not in any bank, you need to contact Knuth beforehand.

For me it will stay framed on the wall.

I wonder if one can do the reverse? Turn in a physical check and get an account?
