st: foreach global macro not working with multiple macros

Dear Stata world,
I would like to create a for loop using global macros but Stata
continues to return an error message. What's going on here?:
This code works fine:
global cash "pocket"
foreach y of global cash {
display "`y'"
}
>pocket
The following, code on the other hand, does not:
global cash "pocket"
global check "bank"
foreach y of global cash check {
display "`y'"
}
>{ required
>r(100);
I also tried:
foreach y of global $cash $check {
display "`y'"
}
>{ required
>r(100);
What gives?
