So how long do cheques last?
I have two cheques from the Canadian government dated May, 2006 and June, 2006. I found them when cleaning out my desk. They total 150 dollars. I didn't cash them because the fees for cashing foreign cheques are outrageous and I meant to cash them when I was across the border.
But I forgot.
I really don't make this stuff up.

Usually checks have expiration dates on them. Otherwise, I thought they were good for six months. If they're government checks, you should be able to call and get replacements.
I once let a $45 rebate check expire because somehow I couldn't get it deposited in the bank within the 45 days they give you to cash it. I was "saving it for a rainy day" *yeeesh*
I thought that unless there was a specified time on the check, they were good for a year.

Send the checks to me and I'll take care of them.
Hey bob,
Just send 'em to me, and I'll cash them, and then use the money to pay for gas to come and visit ya.
Whatever's left over, I'll give back. Pinky swear.
Deal?
I don't trust meemo or swami. If they aren't trustworthy enough to have links, I don't think they can be trusted with my cheques.
As a worker for Canadian Feds, I can assure you that those cheques do not stale-date. If the bank gives you trouble, you'll need to send them back to the gov't and we'll issue replacements.
Yeah! Sneezy!
