you can get them at some banks...but what is it for?
if you are going to Europe or some other westernized nation...I would suggest that you just bring your atm and cc...banks will have the best exchange rate...travelers checks have the worst...
I, myself, would bring cash before TCs...only b/c of the exchange rate

Re: travelers cheques?

Re: travelers cheques?
I was never charged for travelers cheques. However, I never use them. If you have an ATM or debit card, use that instead, but make sure your pin # is 4 digits long and has the cirrus logo on the back. In the last three years, I've been to 6 countries and never used a traveler's cheque. If anything, travelers cheques are more inconvenient than using an ATM card.
