It was a joke. Travelers checks aren’t like regular checks — they’re more like cashier’s checks or money orders. Losing them is a very big problem.

Oh, sorry. I guess it's been about twenty or thirty years since I used them.

Thanks for the clarification!

Yeah. I dated myself with that reference.
