Hell, I have even run across money that was suspect and rejected it.

just curiosity: If the seller takes the check to the issuing bank (eg Bank of America) and physically cash it there (instead of depositing it in his own bank), will there be a problem?

If you take it to the issuing bank and you can cash it for cash, I would believe you should be okay as the bank took on the responsibility for its own check. It begs the question why the buyer doesn't use cash to begin with if he has the money in the account.
