But traveler's checks depend upon two signatures. You sign one immediately
upon buying them and a second time at the time of purchase in front of
the merchant. Then the two signatures can be compared.
I don't see how you could do this by mail. If you signed in both places
and then mailed it, it would be no more secure than a personal check.
Using a credit card really seems the way to go for this but unfortunately
this doesn't help Gwynydd. Gwynydd, perhaps you could work a deal with
someone there in Austrailia to put it on their credit card and then you
give them a personal check.
