This is insane.
I'm in Canada, thus I'm on the reverse side of this, and I can tell you that when I take my US cheques to my CANADIAN bank, they happily accept them. Years ago I asked them to set up a special US account for me, and I deposit all my American cheques directly into that account. Then I do a transfer of funds from that US account into my regular savings (CDN) account. I save on exhange fees that way.
Funny how it's so easy here on our side, but down in the US many financial institutions are quite narrow in their policies on foriegn currency. Hell, at my bank if I want to buy pesos they'll sell me pesos.
I suggest keeping your online business going, and just MOVE. Go live somewhere where there are competing banks who all want your business and who won't look at you funny over who is issuing the cheques to you.
