Investopedia explains 'Bankable Funds'

For example, cash and cashier checks are forms of bankable funds; they are readily accepted and deposited at all major banks. On the other hand, other forms of assets such as precious metals and stocks (although they may have considerable value), will generally not be accepted as a form of payment.
