I have never received checks with any bank account I have opened in my life. Are they even offered anymore?

You have to order them. They don't just give them to you.

Discover gives free standard checks, as many as you want.

Yes, they are used all the time in the US.

The numbers on the bottom are the routing number and account number of the payer. Anyone can make and sell them, and anyone can buy them.

Absolutely. I currently rent from an elderly couple and the simplest method of paying rent is the classic check.

You have to pay for them but yes you can still get checks. My order of 80 checks should last me the rest of my life.
