I'm British living in the UK but I get sent lots of US cheques in US$. Best way of minimising fees/costs for cashing them?

I'm thinking of moving entirely to online bill pay. Have I thought this through? Will I regret having no way to write a paper check? [more inside]

If I write a check today and it's cashed immediately, but the money to cover it won't be in my account until tomorrow, what happens? [more inside]

In the U.S., personal checks and paper currency are the same size. So I've been wondering- is there an international standard size for personal checks? Or, do checks issued in one particular country match up with that country's currency? (And what about places like China, where the bills are all different sizes?) Thanks in advance for helping me sleep at night.
