When you sign up with a bank these days, you normally agree to abide by
the banks by-laws which probably prohibit wierd media for checks (or at
least impose an extra charge).  Also, these days the Federal Reserve
check clearing system imposes an extra charge for processing anything
that can't be sorted by the little numbers at the bottom.  So, while
you can make a "valid" negotiable instrument on most anything, you may
have difficulty getting people to take it and end up with a lot of extra
charges for trying to clear it through the banking system.
