How about a wire transfer next time?

LUGANO, Switzerland - That's one check you hope won't bounce. Italian authorities said Thursday that they had arrested a man who was trying to leave the country on his way to Switzerland with a check made out for $500 million.
The man, identified only as an Italian national, worked for a multinational company, Italy's border police told The Associated Press, confirming local media reports.
The man sought to enter Switzerland earlier this week in a luxury car belonging to his company when he reached the Italian border station of Ponte Chiasso. He didn't declare the check, but it was discovered when guards conducted a routine search of the car. They did not say where they found the check.
Authorities arrested the man and set bail at $100 million. The traveler didn't have that much on him, so authorities confiscated the check instead.
Anyone attempting to leave Italy with more than $14,200 must notify customs and explain where the money comes from and why they are taking it out of the country.
