Using 73 as your check will not help!
My check is 73 and I get asked for repeats of my check very often. I think
people don't trust that they've heard that commonly heard combination and have
to be certain that they are not miscopying it.
My guess is that a combination that is unusual that forces you to pay attention
will be copied more carefully.
