historic definition...

Exchanges -- The exchanges at a clearing house are the items (checks, drafts, etc.,) which are presented by creditor banks (banks which hold them for collection) and are received by debtor banks (banks which are to pay them). In the operation of making exchanges each bank presents the items which it holds against all other banks and receives in return the items which all other banks hold against it. For additional information see Clearing house of the associated banks of New York.
