Postal Note stamps were first introduced on February 1, 1945. They were used to send smaller amounts of money than possible with money orders. Clerks liked them because it saved them time; they just had to affix the stamps to a postal note card and cancel them.
This collection of 16 Postal Notes from 1945 includes PN1-3 & PN5-6 & PN8-18.
Postal Note stamps allowed people send smaller amounts of money (up to $10) at a lower cost than money orders. The cost to send a smaller-valued money order was relatively high, so postal notes gave customers a cheaper option.
