    Oh I’ve seen colorful foreign currency from around the world and how dull US currency looks in comparison. It would be nice if different denominations used different colors but honestly I rarely use cash these days so it really isn’t important to me.

    A lot of places still accept checks here but more and more don’t anymore. However it’s not a problem in most cases though because fewer and fewer people use checks. A lot of young people don’t know how to write a check because it’s basically an unnecessary task anymore.

        Oh yeah it’s freakishly rare to see in retail and restaurants. Some older people still write checks to pay their bills these days. My mom does that, but she always uses plastic when she’s at stores, restaurants , etc.

          Getting work done for the house checks are still the “best” option. Around here they charge a 3% fee for plastic which when you’re talking about thousands of dollars of work it’s no question I’m dusting off the checkbook lmao.
