OK OK I give! Let me clarify that- I have worked at 3 different post offices as a window clerk over the last 15 years, and I have never sold an international money order (not ALL offices do) and have never cashed an international money order. I was not aware that the post office would cash them, and since I have never gotten any information about cashing them from anyone in authority, I would still send you to the bank. : ) Barb "Steve@EuroCampers.com" <Steve@EUROCAMPERS.COM> wrote: on 2/11/05 10:11 AM, The Bus Depot at vanagon@BUSDEPOT.COM wrote: >> Have to differ with you Ron- I work for the US Postal Service >> as a window clerk, and I've never worked in an office that >> would cash a foreign money order, postal or other.

Here's the list: I cashed an international postal money order this morning at the post office here in DeSoto MO. It was for about a hundred bucks and from Canada. Yes, very few postal employees know about this and I had to educate the local office the first time I received one.
