does VISA make traveler cheques in the amount of $500.00?

Question

I received traveler cheques in the amount of $500.00 each. Are they for real?

Answer 1

Yes, they do, but be advised that I have seen fakes of them also.
Here is a link to the Visa travelers check web site. It has a list of security features to look for on the check and a phone number to call if you are still in doubt about the check's authenticity:

Answer 2

I think they do. Best place to check it out is a bank.
