Is it true you can write a cheque on anything and it can be legal tender?

Technically it may still legal tender, though I'm not entire sure as it's hard to check some of the security measures. However just because it's legal tender doesn't mean that someone has to accept it as payment. Incidentally I believe stamps are legal tender.

Well clearly the money inside is legal tender, but part of the problem is that it is difficult (impossible?) to extract said money. The real question is is there any necessity to extract the money intact?

Cheques are not "legal tender" only banknotes issued by the Bank of England are (in England & Wales). Cheques are simply a personal "note" which fewer people use these days; you can write a cheque on anything, viz:

Are you sure they're not £10 notes and you've read them wrongly? Let's be honest, it's not unlikely.
