That $10,000 limit you refer to applies only to cash deposited or
withdrawn
from a bank. It's an interesting way to try and stop obvious money
laundering.

Doesn't apply to checks, certainly doesn't apply when someone is making a
purchase at a retail store.

Wrong, A form 8300 has to be filed on ALL transactions over $10,000. Cash,
check or combinations of each. If fact, a retailer or banker can not (under
huge penalty) even advise or even hint that a 8300 for will be filed on the
transaction.

Suggest you read this:

Look at example 2.
