In 2012 , Huntington started displaying old checks that were written by famous people , including 24 former U.S. Presidents such as Abraham Lincoln , George Washington , Thomas Jefferson , Andrew Jackson , Theodore Roosevelt , Franklin Roosevelt , and Niles , Ohio native William McKinley . Other checks were signed by Charles Dickens , Thomas Edison , Ernest Hemingway , and Susan B. Anthony , among others . The most notable check was one written by Lincoln to " self " for $ 800 dated April 13 , 1865 , the day before his assassination . The checks are estimated to be worth over $ 75,000 today . Huntington acquired the checks in 1983 when it purchased Union Commerce Bank and received several boxes of old documents , but were n't discovered until 2011 when a Huntington employee was looking through the documents
