Haven't written a cheque in the UK for 20 years.

However I have received them from HMRC for refunds.

It's not a check you write.

It's a cashier's check.

They're not used frequently -- really only for things like closing a bank account, buying a used car, putting down an apartment deposit and first month's rent, that kind of thing.

I haven't written a personal check in close to 20 years either, but I've certainly needed to use a cashier's check a handful of times!

cashier checks are equivalent to cash and follow the same limits.

They're not equivalent to cash in any way. That doesn't even make sense.
