Actually, if you pay attention, it probably only takes your bank a few uS to

you receive one.
A perfect example of asymmetric processing :)
I am amazed checks is still being in use. They are virtually gone here
since many, many years. I have never had a check-book and don't see why
I ever would need one.
I receive checks from the US for smaller sums. Usually not worth the
effort to get the money.
The one check I will *NEVER* cash in is the one from Don Knuth, for 2.56
USD. I have the frame, I just forgot to frame it.
Cheers,
Magnus
