I paid cash for a couple of bucks postage on a package last month. The clerk was stunned.

Unless you need to convert the money order to cash immediately, you can deposit it at your bank just like you would a check, so no need to scour the area for a post office that has enough cash.

But if you deposit the Postal Money Order and it later proves to be a counterfeit, aren't you out of luck?
