Archaic systems
Here in the Netherlands, we stopped using cheques/betaalkaarten when the euro was introduced. Most counties in the EU are phasing-out this archaic way of transferring money. In France, you might still see signs "paiement par chèque n'est pas accepté" and perhaps old people still using it. But it is definitely a thing of the past there too.
It rather surprises me, that the US is so far behind that they still use checks on apparently a regular basis.
