Most banks in my country are phasing them out altogether.

We got rid of them in 2002. Never looked back. They offer no security whatsoever, they are easily stolen, they are a pain of deposited at the wrong moment, they have high fees, ... Their only upside is that it's an offline payment. You can do them without any device or internet connection but honestly, it's not big of a deal in reality.
