Change in Maximum Value of Postal Money Orders

To All Depository Institutions in the Second
Federal Reserve District, and Others Concerned:

We have been advised by the United States Postal Service that the maximum value
of United States Postal money orders (domestic and military) has been increased from
$400 to $500. In addition, the U.S.P.S. seal, and the maximum value, will no longer be
printed on the front of money orders. Therefore, the statement “Void Without USPS
Seal” on the front of the money order is no longer applicable. When cashing Postal
money orders, you should, of course, continue to examine them for alterations or
erasures.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact your local
Postmaster.




A n t h o n y M. S o l o m o n ,
President.
