How’s that travellers check business.

Traveler's "cheques" confused people?

Now that brings back memories. I remember going on my first proper trip as an adult, sometime in the early 1980s. Everybody urged me to not carry cash but instead get travellers checks. So down to the bank I went to get my cash exchanged for travellers checks (with the necessary fee).

I just found them a major hassle and nothing marked you more like a tourist then handing those over in lieu of cash.
