As far as I know, the ONLY legal tender in this great nation of ours is the
almighty greenback - NOT the check. However, that may be in danger: the US
Government seems to think that they can force us all to have bank accounts
in the very near future, since they are planning to stop making out those US
Government checks and will do only direct deposit.

Put that aside: there is NO obligation to accept a check from ANYone. You
can always side-step these banks that are more and more thinking that they
are God's gift to the world and demand cash from the person who writes you a
check - ESPECIALLY if they have already given you a check that bounced.
