Here in Sweden there are (since last year) no longer any banks that will cash a foreign check, no matter which country of origin, currency or bank. There used to be one that still did it at a quite steep fee, which became relevant for expats trying to cash their covid stimulus checks a couple of years ago, but now there are none. It's just a huge yarn of fraud and manual processing, it's not worth it. Domestic checks barely exist either, the only way you'll ever see one is if the government owes you money for some reason but you haven't told them what your bank account number is.
