Mayim Bialik is known to the world as Amy Farrah Fowler in The Big Bang Theory - but before she found success on the popular sitcom, she had a guest role on the medical comedy-drama Doogie Howser, M.D.

Her guest role opposite Neil Patrick Harris was back in 1990 - and 27 years later, in 2017, Bialik has revealed she's still receiving royalty cheques of a whopping two cents (NZ$0.03).

"That's right. GROSS $0.02. NET to me: $0.01," Bialik wrote in an Instagram post with a photo of the cheque.

Doogie Howser, M.D. aired from 1989 to 1993.

Bialik isn't the only star who shared the details of their minuscule royalty payments this week; rap star Drake posted a royalty cheque from his time on the Canadian teen drama series Degrassi.

His latest payment was a measly US$8.25 (NZ$11.20).
