To All Member Banks in the Second Federal
Reserve District, and Others Concerned:

The United States Postal Service has asked the Federal Reserve Banks to
communicate a change concerning the cashing of Postal Money Orders. Postal
Money Orders have a statement on the back “Do not cash if face amount exceeds
$300.” This statement is no longer applicable as the maximum value of money
orders was changed effective May 29,1978 to $400. Banks are requested not to deny
payments to customers with money orders of $400 or less.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact your local
Postmaster.




Pau l A. V olcker,

President.
