¿** The system of Travellers' Cheques was originated in [1891 by the American Express Company with the object of cresing a form of travel currency which would give the holder the security of a letter of credit and at the same. time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade name of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS CHEQUES* the word #Travellers' being spoiled" with one “1”. The advantage of the Obeques was so apparent, that other banizing institutions adopted the system.
