Your bank may choose to cash it, at their discretion, and assess a fee on your account which could be from $20-40 depending on your bank's fee schedule.
Or, your bank may choose to return the check to the payee (whoever you wrote it to). In this circumstance, if the payee presents the check for payment at your bank, they will likely be told to return to you for an explanation of why they are unable to cash the check. But if they cash or deposit it at another bank and the check is returned unpaid, they will be charged a "returned item" fee by that bank and will probably be quite unhappy with you, and may even request that you pay the fee in addition to paying the check.

Should the bank refund me if they made the mistake?
I went to my bank to get check to pay my rent for the month. The bank accidentally gave me a check from an account which was closed over 5 years ago instead of my active account. I didn't notice the account number on the check. So I used that check to pay the rent, but the check bounced because it was from a closed account. Now the apartment company billed me $140 because of the bounced check. Should the bank have to cover that $140 bill because they are the one's that made the mistake with the check?

What is safer a cashiers check or a personal check?
A cashiers check is far safer than a personal check, whether you are the payee or the payor. If you are the payee (the one receiving the check) and receive a personal check that is insufficient, you have very little recourse in obtaining the money owed to you. If you are paid with a cashiers check, it is guaranteed funds, since the bank will only issue the check with available funds (meaning it has to be paid for with cash or purchased at the person's bank, where the bank can verify there are sufficient funds in their account to cover the amount of the check). If you are the payor (the one paying by check), the bank can trace the check for you if the person to whom you were paying loses it or says they never received it. Also, if the check does get lost, it will be far more difficult for someone to forge their signature to it and cash it. Also, a cashiers check does not have as much personal identification on it like a personal check does (address, checking account number, etc.).
