Today I got my car title in the mail: I own it free and clear! I also had a small surprise: turns out I overpaid slightly on my car, so they sent me a refund check.
I believe I once got a letter from . . . Massachusetts? . . . saying that the state owed me less than a dollar and so they weren't going to send it unless I asked.
I've gotten a check for fifty cents (it was a haiku sale--I swear, unless you are a big big BIG name it is so not worth trying to make a profit off poetry sales...), but seven? Dude. I'd keep the check for laugh value. :-D
If you come up with another haiku, try Outshine (http://shineanthology.wordpress.com/), a Twitter e-zine, which pays $5 for accepted haiku and prose poems. :D (More than Thaumatrope (http://twitter.com/thaumatrope), which is roughly $1.20/accepted submission. XD)
I'm debating whether to keep the check or to cause my bank to spend more than seven cents in cashing it. XD I'm sending in a couple of $7 checks from surveys soon.
And, yeah, that totally beats my former savings account sending me a check for a leftover balance of ninety-five cents. Honestly, it must've cost more than seven cents for them just to print and send you the thing...
Freshman year of college, I needed a copy of my bill with the University. They refused to give me a copy unless my balance was 0, which it wasn't since I'd accidentally overpaid. So they cut me a check, and told me to come in the next day for a printout of the bill. Check was for 48 cents.
That week I had a small phone bill. In the dorms we were just charged for the long distance calls. I so I wrote them a check for 56 cents.

Congratulations on car-ownage!

And ahahahahahaha. That's even better than the state owing me a whopping $3 on my taxes. I seriously want to find a way to tell them to just keep it.

Of course, he was frozen cryogenically for about 1000 years, as I recall.
