Re: Cashing travellers Cheques?
Actually, I think you'll find that 'travellers cheques' is a well-established set phrase and the first word;
Travellers, is an adjectival noun rather than possessive.
Therefore, the apostrophe should be dropped.
Thus, travellers cheques is correct and not travellers' cheques, but I haven't used them recently.

Don't know about in NZ, but when we were in Oz, Westpac didn't charge to change them.
