Cashing Euro Traveler's Checks

[LynneM44]

If we take Traveler's Checks in Euros on our trip, will we have any difficulty cashing them? We have had trouble cashing regular Traveler's Checks in US dollars in Europe, but I am guessing it may be easier with Euro Trav. Chex.

What do you mean by "cashing" the cheques? If you mean spending them at a shop, restaurant etc in the same way that they can be used in the USA, then yes, you will have problems. It just can't be done in Europe.

 

If you mean actually changing a cheque into cash, then you shouldn't have any problem if you use a bank or bureau de change. You will usually be asked to show your passport.
