Prepaid mail vouchers

A postal order is a prepaid certificate purchased at a post office and redeemable for cash, functioning like a money order.

Common in British and Commonwealth countries, postal orders allow people to send money through the mail without using cash or checks: She paid for the mail-order goods with a postal order.

The American equivalent is typically called a money order.
