You are bloody lucky. In the UK we have always had to wait 4 to 8 weeks to cash a US cheque!
Reason given: America's banks use such shitty, backwards, outdated technology that their equipment won't talk to European banks' more modern equipment and it has to be done manually!
Me, I think it is because, since Americans don't know how to spell "cheque", it takes them 4 to 8 weeks to work out what one is!
