Cashiers checks are no longer safe for individuals...
OK, I yield.
I don't understand why a *real* cashier's check from the bank would not be 100% safe, since it represents actual cash which is deducted from the account holder's balance at the time it's issued. In other words, it is cash that has been transformed into a portable instrument. Unless the bank it's drawn on would suddenly fold, you should be safe. Anyone who knows more about cashier's checks is welcome to educate me (or all of us) on the topic.
