    They’re literally promissory notes in lieu of cash.

    Do you call your bank notes checks? I was explicitly disputing checks.

    We have paper money that is cash. Sounds like you don’t have that, but that doesn’t mean checks are cash.

        What you said literally means “instead of cash”.

        They’re literally promissory notes in lieu of cash.

        They are NOT cash if they are something to exchange instead of cash. More likely you bank notes are considered cash, but your bank notes are also not checks. Because checks are not cash.
