Canada Postal Scrip, What Is That?

I did a search here of "postal scrip" and got zero returns. What the heck are these?


PS, I'd normally be far more reticent to make multiple posts in a day but 50 is a high bar…

Plenty returns, including

According to the 1987 The Canadian Revenue Stamp Catalogue 1987 by E.S. J. Van Dam They are Postal Note and Scrip Stamps. There are three issues of these. 2nd !967 issue is 21X17 mm and third issue is 20x 16 mm. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the fast replies and apologies for messing up the search function…I'll figure it out. How were they used on money orders and why not regular stamps?

Accounting.

I asked AI for a more complete explanation so please correct this if wrong... One went into a postal outlet and obtained (purchased?) a blank money order then bought and attached sufficient scrip to pay for some small expense. The money order with scrip affixed was then mailed to the recipient who took it to their local postal outlet for reimbursement.

Anyone who uses AI has their own responsibility to determine accuracy. Enjoy your challenge.

Here are two more examples of these used money orders:

Thanks NSK, I think I've got the picture, so to speak :-)

OK, I recognize the type. Let's just agree you are the cleverest person in the room and you move on to someone else's topic as you're not adding value here and I can't find an "ignore" function.
