Yes, Writing a bad check is a crime. You are not supposed to write a check that cannot be cashed. You must write a check only when you have a corresponding bank account and have enough money in that account to pay for the check. If that is not the case then your check is termed bad and you are liable to be prosecuted/jailed/fined for doing so. The rule is the same in all countries/states and Colorado is no different.

Are post dated cheques legal in Australia?
It is illegal to write a cheque knowing that there are no funds in your account to cover it.

The other problem will be finding somebody silly enough to accept a post-dated cheque.
