> None of the banks I have accounts with ever gave me a chequebook. We have to request them and pay a small fee for them. They aren’t typically issued when you open the account. You just receive a debit card. Exceptions may exist. This is only my experience.

Oh, I'm sure you can get them somehow, I'm just saying that they're so rare that no bank gives them out by default (nor have I ever seen one or know what to do with it).

  Is there still a universal system of acceptance of checks, though, like there was Eurocheques before 2001? Any bank can presumably issue checks, but if no car dealerships take them...?

    Banks still take them. I remember shops in my area starting to refuse them about 2000.

You can write a cheque on anything as it's just a written instruction. Sadly the story of the farmer who wrote one on the side of a cow turns out to be false.
