I received two checks in the very early 2000s and my name isn’t on this list.
replyFor the record I cashed both and have zero regrets. At the time it definitely felt like the right thing to do as I am not into collecting tokens.
Most rock and roll thing I heard today :)

replyI'm not doubting the authority on the balances; it's the correlation to the number of checks I'm querying - high balance doesn't necessarily mean high number of checks, especially since the checks can have different values.
I doubt even Knuth has those records, so this is as good as it gets until someone sets off to compile a list of the 'paper past' that has enough proof to back the numbers.
