MANDERINO, Justice,
concurring.
I join in the opinion of Mr. Justice O’Brien and would like to note that his opinion ends the discriminatory practice of accepting certified checks and not personal checks. A certified check (or a cashier’s check or a nongovernmental money order) is a promise to pay by a private person as is a *297personal check. If a personal check were not to be considered payment, neither should a cashier’s check nor a certified check. It may be that some promises to pay are issued by the “rich” and personal checks by the less affluent. Nonetheless banks fail just as individuals, and their promises to pay on a date certain are not always honored.
