Aidan Work Banned New Zealand 306 Posts	Posted 07/22/2006 10:53 pm Irishraider,a postal order is very much like a banknote in many respects.There is a lot of interest in postal orders,especially in England.As a result,the demand for them is strengthening.I collect them myself as a sideline to the British Commonwealth banknote hobby,considering that some countries only ever issued postal orders as their contribution to numismatics. When I saw the price that these went for,I was really floored! Aidan. Report this Post to the Staff

Aidan Work Banned New Zealand 306 Posts	Posted 07/25/2006 11:22 pm Scoutjim99,7,123 Pounds Sterling is a lot of money.I have been informed by contacts in England,who are also members of the Postal Order Society,that the successful bidder is a former member of the P.O.S. who was expelled for serious misconduct a long time ago.
