No. If you cash it at a currency exchange they may deduct a fee from the amount of the check. If you cash it at your bank but do not have enough money in your account/s to cover the amount of the check, your bank may decline to cash the check. Your best bet is to take it to the bank on which it was drawn. You will need to provide sufficient legal identification.

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.).

How do you determine if you need full coverage when your car loan is paid off?

If the loans are paid in full and you have received the title(s) from the lenders, then it is totally your decision of what amount of coverage to have. Remember, it is now your vehicle 100%. If you can afford the higher coverage why not better protect yourself, family and vehicle? Check other agencies for same coverage but lower rates. Cleaning up your credit may even lower your insurance rates.

You owe a a settlement from a lawsuit and paid it but the cashiers check expired do you still owe the money?

Yes, you still owe the money. Yes, if the cashiers check expired the money is still available in that account so all you will need to do is have another cashiers check cut.
