When was the last time you used travelers checks?

I just gave a way a box of old purses and wallets on Freecycle, and the recipient emailed me to say that she found $100 in travelers checks in one of them!  I literally cannot remember the last time I used travelers checks (which gives you an idea how long it's been since I cleaned out that shelf in the cupboard). I thanked her and asked her to drop the checks off or mail them to me, but I would be surprised if they are good for anything at this point. Heck, it's been so long I probably got them from the old Northwest Bank before it dropped the "th" and scrapped the weatherball and got acquired by Wells Fargo. Now it's bugging me that I literally have no memory of when I might have bought those things.

Travelers' checks are pretty much obsolete as a category (credit cards and ATMs having taken their place), but I bet the issuer will honor them still. They don't have expiration dates on them, after all.
