Checkbook and roll of quarters for EDC? If you still think checks are useful at least slim that down to a couple n your wallet.
I'm been working for a big bank now for 5 years and got my free checking account back when I started and the box of free checks. I had to shred all those when we moved and had only used one or two and one of them was just so I could see what the image looked like in the check image system.
I requested new checks when we moved and haven't used one yet and we've been here almost a year now.
