>In Europe the last time I saw a cheque was in the early 90's, and they are still used in Canada for things like rent.
It's still a thing in France, mostly because you can control the moment it's cashed in, it can be used as collateral for rent and so on, and because there's a tradition of paper documentation cheques play into.
But people of my generation rarely bother to get a cheque book at all, bank transfers are just fine.
