American Express Travelers Cheques
Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES—
The system of Travellers' Cheques was originated in 1991 by the American Express Company with the object of creating 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 choques under the trade bame of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES! the word "Travellers' being spelled with one "1". The advantage of the Cheques was ap apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system.”
Quoted from Pitman's Dictionary of Banking by Wm. Thomson.
