A paper check is not cash. A credit score is not cash. Physical backed up currency in your hand is cash. And I don’t think you can get cash anymore. Only Fiat
By that logic bank notes are not cash, only coins are cash.
Look at a bank note and read what it says: " I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of five/ten/twenty/fifty pounds" the the signature of the governer of the Bank of England (or whichever Scottish bank issued it). They’re literally promissory notes in lieu of cash.
if you define cash to exclude any cash instruments except coins and bills, then I guess you are entitled to your own reality. for everyone else, checks will still be cash
So you don’t actually understand what the phrase “cash is king” really means.

And guess what cash doesn’t need to actually work, unlike credit, checks and crypto.
An economy?
All four of them require that.
paper checks are cash
No
wrong
Cash is cash, as in paper or coin money.
Checks are not cash, they are paper that represents money, generally issued by banks.
Checks are not cash.

Do you call your bank notes checks? I was explicitly disputing checks.
We have paper money that is cash. Sounds like you don’t have that, but that doesn’t mean checks are cash.
No, they’re notes. What I’m saying is your logic applies equally to bank notes as it does to cheques.

You have that backwards.
Everyone except for you knows that checks aren’t cash.
