American Express Travelers Cheques
Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES—
"The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1891 by the American Express Company with the object of creating
form
of travel currency which would give the holder the security of a latter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency.
