In modern banking practices, a cheque is not considered legal tender. Legal tender refers to a form of payment that must be accepted to fulfill a debt, such as cash or coins issued by the government. However, a bank may accept a cheque for the amount specified, subject to their own policies and procedures for processing cheque payments. The acceptance of a cheque for 100 guineas would ultimately depend on the specific bank's policies regarding cheque deposits and payments.
No. A cheque is a non-negotiable monetary instrument. The value of the cheque cannot be modified or negotiated and hence the term non-negotiable. The amount filled up by the cheque issuer is the value of the cheque and it would not change.
A "cheque bounce" occurs when a person writes out a cheque, but there are not enough funds in his bank account to clear that cheque. Here's how it works: When you write a cheque, you are instructing your bank to move a certain amount of money from your bank account to someone else. The bank cannot move that kind of money if you do not have sufficient balance in your account. The bank returns the cheque to the person with the word "bounced" beside it. Cheque bouncing can incur any number of penalties, not to mention damaging your credit and even leading to litigation if bounced too often. Ensure you've got sufficient in your account so as not to bounce!
A cheque can be cashed only on or after the cheque date. Ex: Let us say you issue a cheque to Mr. xyz today (June 2nd 2009) and mark the cheque date as July 1st 2009 (A post dated cheque) Mr. XYZ can deposit this cheque on or after July 1st 2009. If he tries to deposit before that date, the bank would reject it. A cheque is a valid and legal instrument for money transactions only after the cheque date.
It would be polite to remind the person/business to whom the cheque was sent/given that it has not yet been presented. A cheque has a lifespan of 6 months (generally) and after that, if it were to be presented, a bank can refuse to honour it.
Yeah, if you do, the bank would issue a stop payment on the cheque. If you try to deny after encashing the cheque the bank would file a legal case against you
Yes. There is a case where a man wrote a cheque to pay his parking fine on toiler paper. It would have cost them £15 to process it.
Basically, a cheque is a written promise to pay the receiver the sum on the cheque. For example, if a workman has finished work on your property, you would write a cheque to allow the workman to put the cheque into his bank account, and the amount would be taken out of your account. It is important to ensure the amount on the cheque is in your account, otherwise the cheque would be returned (a bounced cheque).

Yes. The term used for this is called Cheque "Stop Payment" You must visit the bank branch from which you got the cheque book and submit a letter stating the reason for the same and also provide the cheque number. If the cheque has not yet been paid, the cheque would be canceled and no payment would be made.

Yes, if you still have OD limit and No, if you have exhausted your OD limit. Let us say your OD limit is $10,000 and you have used $7,000 and you have given a cheque for $2000, then your cheque would be cashed. If you have used $9,800 and given a cheque for $2000 your cheque would be rejected.
In historical terms, one guinea is equivalent to 21 shillings or £1.05 in pounds sterling. Therefore, to convert guineas to pounds sterling, you would simply multiply the number of guineas by 1.05. For example, if you have 5 guineas, the conversion would be 5 guineas x £1.05 = £5.25 in pounds sterling.
In 1877, 25 guineas would be equivalent to £26.25 in British currency, as one guinea is equal to £1.05. The guinea was historically used in the UK, primarily for pricing in certain contexts, such as horse racing and luxury goods. Today, the value of 25 guineas would be significantly higher when adjusted for inflation, reflecting changes in the economy over time.
200 guineas fifty years ago would be equivalent to around $4,000 - $5,000 in today's money, accounting for inflation. The value of 1 guinea in 1972 was approximately $25.
