Article-I.D.: cca.4247 Posted: Mon Jan 10 16:48:27 1983 Received: Thu Jan 13 06:04:43 1983 References: rocheste.369 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.
