I get payment cheques from Palladium Books, and they pay me with US
Dollar
checks, luckily Suncorp only charges about $5 to $10 to bank them (these
fees have risen from the $5 from last time, and I don't remember the new
fee).
It gets pretty much treated as a foreign currency transaction though it
takes about a month or so for the cheque to actually clear.
