Somehow those tubes keep $22tn flowing :) Alas, I’m not sure which tubes you’re referring to. These days, banks use FTP to shuffle bank transfers around. However, I do think checks have their uses. I’d rather write a check than use cash any day of the week. You can cancel a check, but you can’t cancel cash. Of course, I’d rather pay digitally. But sometimes that’s not an option. Also: “cashing” a check usually just mean depositing it into your bank account. Not swapping it for cash, although you can do that, too.
