That doesn’t surprise me. I must admit I haven’t ever shopped for MICR ink and the thought crossed my mind when I typed that it might be easier to get these days than it once was. And, yep, I just looked at Amazon, $200. Thanks for the correction.
This made me think of something related to routing numbers. I remember back in the day when routing numbers couldn’t be verified so easily fraudsters used to use routing numbers for banks in Hawaii, because the longer processing time for checks to get there and back gave them more time before the fraud was discovered.
