That was the last time I ever wasted money buying travellers cheques. Sounds a bit strange to me. The selling bank gives you the serial numbers, when you ask them. They typically are adjacent figures. With n notes the figures are from x to x+n-1. You really didn't recall how many notes you had encashed until the theft took place.? Nowadays it is easy to copy the information on receipts on a file hosted by some general access email provider. There is nothing wrong with traveller's cheques. Nothing is fool proof though. |

I didn't know what x was because the receipt with the serial numbers on was stolen also. |
