Oh wow that's amazing. McLean - might be one of my relations.

Del Godfrey
Address unknown? No such number? No such zone???

Pat Dooley
Del Godfrey I hope the guy has since changed his bank account number since you have shown it to the world

Trish Barry Andrews
Pat Dooley Firstly it was not Del that "posted" it and secondly it is not a guy but the NZBC (IE the Government) and it was dissolved on 1 April 1975. Baz.

Richard Evans

Saved an old cheque.. smashed a whole building full of resources.

Trish Barry Andrews
Think I can remember Joan having a spot on the radio - shopping ? Baz.

Andrea de Garnham
Joan Mclean Catherine Moffitt Rowlands Could it

Catherine Moffitt Rowlands
Andrea de Garnham maybe. It was so sad to see so much stuff being destroyed without trying to save it.

Catherine Moffitt Rowlands
Joan McLean, maybe this as yours?

Tony Kokshoorn
If Someone contacts Joan, I will present the cheque to her. FAST POST.

Carol Martin
New Zealand cheques are no longer acceptable. This cheque appears to have already been presented, 17 August 1972, at BNZ Hokitika. It has been bank stamped.

Anthea Keenan
I wonder how that cheque came back out of banking system?

Lynnette Beirne
Anthea Keenan the government departments used to get their cancelled cheques back for audit purposes

Anthea Keenan
Oh thks for that Lynette. I remember doing the checks and bundles/boxes of customers chqs...

Sharon Arohanui Marsh
Dianna McLean

Darian Zam

Margaret Crawford

Joan McLean, think if all the interest owed!

a bit like how they found a pilot`s intact passport sitting on the top of the Twin Towers rubble.

Maria Webley
Great photos

Alan Mitchell
There was a Joan Mclean that had a shopping reporter's spot on 3ZA radio station around the early 1970s I think she was from Hokitika.

Trish Barry Andrews
Alan Mitchell that is what I thought, I think she would visit my mothers shop, Baz.

Marilyn Paterson
Alan Mitchell I was going to say exactly that!
