        Checks and credit The US hasn’t been backed by hard currency since the mid-60s. Once we moved off the gold standard, it all became Fiat based on exchange rates

          So you don’t actually understand what the phrase “cash is king” really means.

            A paper check is not cash. A credit score is not cash. Physical backed up currency in your hand is cash. And I don’t think you can get cash anymore. Only Fiat

              And guess what cash doesn’t need to actually work, unlike credit, checks and crypto.

                    Cash is cash, as in paper or coin money.

                    Checks are not cash, they are paper that represents money, generally issued by banks.

                    Checks are not cash.
