[malkia]

I pay my rent with check. That's the only way my landlord wants it (no cash, or any electronic way). I've seen (though rare) people paying with cash in stores (I live in LA).

Continental Europe also uses cash. But cheques haven't been seen for ages. I guess cash might just be a different kind of old-fashioned.

(Britain seems to get rid of cheques slowly.)
