They may be a good way to pay for stuff, but they now stink if you want to
get paid.  They are easy to forge, and even easier to "oops I lost it before
I mailed it, I need to cancel it".

You loose the face value, whatever you sent, and get to pay all the bank
fees for depositing a bad check.

We stopped taking them at my shop.  When every new checking account now has
a Visa or Mastercard number attached to it, there is not a lot of reason
(aside from scamming) to use paper to transfer money.
