Why

.... what?

what country is this?

sounds like South america

All checks or just paper checks?

I mean, if you have cheques available for draft, then surely it is legal to use them?

why would your bank issue an illegal monetary instrument?

Anti money laundering legislations.
Also using more than approx 2000 USD in one transaction in cash is also illegal

just illegal?

that seems a bit heavy handed

Yeah

1-800-uhaul

is there some way to do it by registering?

No, bank are required to report you to the police if you try to cash a check

...

So what is everything done digitally then

wait what?

Yes

why do they have the mechanism if it is illegal to use?

Everything must be digital

That's retarded

welcome to we need some regulation

So what are you supposed to do if you want to buy a car from your buddy

I feel like you're explaining this incorrectly

because that is like having petshops which stock pet food, but call the cops when you try to buy any

surely they would just stop stocking pet food

Is it all checks or just post dated checks

You could risk having a cheque book more than three years old. You can keep them as souvenirs but you are encourage to hand the in for destruction

what?

I just don't get how the instruments have any use

if using them is unlawful

If cheques issued before the law is null and void

I understand banning post dated checks but not them entirely

alright, but at this point if you tried to cash a cheque, they would just tell you "dude that's not been an option for a while"

Paper cheques to clarify

And call the police to be compliant

are people in your country too retarded to track paper transactions?

why don't they just call the authorities

That just sounds like tyranny to me lol

who are tasked with tracking financial transactions

YOU CAN'T USE THIS LEGAL TENDER ANYMORE
