Unreferenced date February 2009 Check washing is the process of erasing details from cheque checks to allow them to be rewritten, usually for crime criminal purposes such as fraudulent withdrawal from the victim s bank account . The technique could potentially be used to remove ink stains from books. Various steps can be taken by the writer of the check to reduce the possibility of falling victim to check washing. These include mailing checks by placing them in secured mailboxes, using secure ink dispensed from a gel, rollerball, or fountain pen fountain pen , filling in all lines on the check, and careful scrutiny of bank statements. The actual process of washing a check is relatively simple and can be accomplished with basic solvents. The actual solvent is largely irrelevant more importantly, the polarity of the solvent must match the polarity of the dye in the ink. For example, an ink that is mostly made of a polar dye would require a polar solvent e.g. acetone or isopropanol . Both nail polish remover acetone and rubbing alcohol isopropanol are able to pull most common inks away from paper in minutes. Similarly, a non polar dye would require a non polar solvent e.g. toluene or a similar hydrocarbon .

A certified check or certified cheque is a form of cheque check for which the bank verifies that sufficient funds exist in the account to cover the check, and so certifies, at the time the check is written. Those funds are then set aside in the bank s internal account until the check is cashed or returned by the payee. Thus, a certified check cannot bounce , and, in this manner, its liquidity is similar to cash, absent failure of the bank. In some countries, e.g. Germany , it is illegal for a regular bank to certify checks. ref http bundesrecht.juris.de scheckg art 4.html Art. 4 of the German Check Code Scheckgesetz ref This regulation is supposed to prevent certified checks from becoming a universal substitute for cash, which is considered the only legal tender . The Deutsche Bundesbank Federal Bank is the only financial institution authorized to issue certified checks. The liquidity and certainty of payment of a certified cheque explains the fact that it is sometimes considered equivalent to cash, such as in the regulation of credit for casino gaming in Macau , where the law explicitly states that if a casino patron obtains casino chips and pays with a certified cheque, the transaction is not regarded as credit for gaming see Law 5 2004, art. 2 .
