A computer-implemented method for identifying duplicate printed cash letters, comprising the steps of: receiving by a check presentment module information obtained from a printed machine-readable identifier comprising information identifying a printed cash letter associated with the printed machine-readable identifier, the printed cash letter comprising at least one substitute check that is a legal equivalent of a corresponding paper check, the check presentment module implemented in a computer system that comprises instructions stored in a machine-readable medium and a processor that executes the instructions; determining by the check presentment module whether the cash letter was printed twice by determining whether information stored in a record corresponds to the received information, wherein the information stored in the record identifies cash letters that were printed previously; and outputting by the check presentment module an alert advising that the cash letter was printed twice in response to determining that the cash letter was printed twice.
