Eli5. What stops a 1000 dollar check made out to cash from being used as a 1000 dollar bill.

A bit confusing but what I mean by this is say, a guy writes a 1000 dollar check (made out to cash)to buy a quad. The guy receiving the check, instead of cashing it out, uses the original check to then go buy his own quad and so on.

Common sense. If Joe Jones is buying a quad from me and gives me a check made out to cash originally from Peggy Smith…no way am I taking that check. As far as I know it’ll bounce and I’m left with nothing
