Travelers Cheques
Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-
**The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1891 by the, American Express Company with the aliject of creating a form of travel currency which would give the holder the security of a lötter of crediš and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the chinques. under the trade name of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the word "Travelers' being spelled with one '1'. The advant- age of the Cheques was so appuent that other banking institutions adoptad the system." ་་
