Since I use this service, I wondered if it did disappear with the New Year so
I checked. This is printed off the US Post Office official site:
Money Orders
You should never send cash through the mail. Postal money orders are a safe
way to send money. The special color blend, Benjamin Franklin watermark,
metal security thread, and double imprinting of the dollar amount are
incorporated security features. You can buy domestic and international money
orders at all post offices in amounts up to $700. You can purchase multiple
money orders at one time in the same or different amounts. There is a $10,000
daily purchase limit, and customers who purchase more than $3,000 in money
orders in a single day are required by federal law to complete Form 8105-A,
Funds Transactions/Transfer Report. Military money orders can be purchased
only on U.S. military ships and foreign bases.
