âNothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well ordered mind than a manâs ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company. â â Seneca, Letters From a Stoic.

Preissued, postdated cashier's checks are not cashier's checks or issued officer's checks until the date they become payable. Indeed, until the due date, a preissued, postdated cashier's check is not even a check as defined by the Uniform Commercial Code.
R.G., Cleveland. A: There is no federal banking law about stale checks that indicates checks with certain dates aren't good. Banks won't necessarily reject any check because of the date on it.

Banks accept or decline checks based on whether they think the check is good.
