United States Postal Money Order

[Fluidic]

So yah... I got one of these US Money Orders today from a guy in the States... and well... it's only negotiable in the United States. I went to the bank and I tried to have them cash it... but they harshly denied me.

Is there any place in Calgary that will cash this? I don't want to have to drive down to Montana and go to one of those "cash-advance" places...

It's the "green" looking MO. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

dood your bank should take it, i deal with US currency all the time, there is no reason why they shouldnt, its garenteed funds, ask for a manager

Yes, the bank will take it, I've gotten those as well in the past.

They pointed out, on the Money Order itself, and I quote: "Negotiable only in the U.S. and possessions. See reverse warning".

Damnit... I will give this to anyone who wants to try it at there bank... providing you pay me the 80USD funds in cash.

awww man its only 80 bucks, phone the guy see if he will send a different payment

no one will take that us money order, you should tell the american to send you the green colored money order(international) not the pink one(us only) next time. send it back peter.

None the less, most banks will still take it. What bank are you trying ?

They look a little different from what they looked like 6 months ago, but RBC cashed a couple I had back then, so I dunno. Try a Canada Post outlet, see if they can do it.

Canada Postal sucks... but I'll try! LOL

So... someone answer me this.

What's stopping me from driving across the border and going to one of those cash advance places and having them pay out minus whatever percentage they charge for initializing the transaction?

Or maybe a USPS outlet. I'm sure they would fund me accordingly... correct?
