You know you live in a banana republic if sending large amounts of money with a “check” is a thing.

Lorette Taylor’s father had died and left his children a large chunk of cash, which Taylor, as executor, had to divide between herself and 2 siblings. When she tried to do so, her bank said it was best to send her brother and sister bank drafts. 1 of the drafts, in the order of $846650, was destined for her brother, who hired UPS to ship it to his local store. The package never arrived.
