Nope. It was pretty common to have them and/or your SSN printed on your personal checks, and if they weren't, the merchants would often ask to see ID and write the numbers on the check themselves.

Your SSN is “not for identification”, but with no national ID it became one anyways. https://images.app.goo.gl/NTMD5jGHsF27nbZRA

Not that many years ago, it was common for your drivers license ID number to be the same as your SSN!

Yep. My SSN was also my student ID number when I was in college.
