Abstract: A method of providing receipts to depositors of bank checks. People often deposit a group of bank checks at once. All checks in the group are listed on a deposit slip which the person prepared. Sometimes, at the last minute, a person removes a check from the group, and does not deposit the removed check. However, if the person misplaces that removed check, the person can develop the false memory that he actually deposited the check, when, in fact, he did not. This false memory can lead to a dispute with the bank. In one form of the invention, the bank creates a deposit slip which contains a picture of each check which was deposited, and also a picture of each check which was removed from the deposit process. This deposit slip creates a historical record of events occurring at the deposit event, and allows one to trace all checks involved.
