How do you handle cashing US checks from adult companies? Anything special with the banks?

I've never tried to cash a US check here. I don't think I ever will.
The best bet is to have your money deposited for you, eg, direct deposit, or fedexed to your bank, etc, then use your debit card for cash and credit cards for larger purchases. I fedex mine once a month, and I have other money going directly into my bank in the US, so no worries. I'll have a fully functional account here next week, though I doubt I'll really use it that much.
I think that the banks here would hold your money until the check cleared. With these banks, that could take many days
I don't know much about Costa Rica, so can't help ya there.
