*The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1991 by the American Expessa Company with the object pf orasting a form of travel currency. which would give the holder the security of a letter of gradit and at the same sime the convenienos of local anrrency. The Company registered the chequer under the trade name of 'AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS SHEQUES the word "Travallers' being spelled with ons 'I'. The advans.. age of the Choqnen was so apparent that other banking Institutions adoptid the system." ?
