I published some shareware in 1988. When I visited my parents last week they gave me an envelope addressed to me. It contained a postal order for the amount requested on the shareware. I've framed the postal order and hung it above my desk.

@fesshole if you haven't got a chequebook, postal order is the only way to pay the DVLA if you need to do so.
I used to iron paper money or get new notes so I could mail it without it feeling too much like money.
I got acknowledgments, so I know it usually got there.

For reasons (I did similar at about the same time), this makes me very happy!

Also, in case you're unfamiliar with it, a postal order (money order in the U.S.) is a way of sending money without using a bank check.
You give the clerk the money you want to send, they create the money/postal order, you mail it with your order. It was very useful if you didn't have a bank account or if you wanted to send an international order.

@fesshole Who cares what shareware was, I'm more concerned that fessor hadn't visited his parents since the eighties.

@jgamble @Flawgren @fesshole Since I work with homeless people, I see these vouchers often. The government uses them to send money to people who don’t have a bank account or whose accounts have been frozen by a debt collector. Which is most of them. Since the vouchers are pink, I call the 15th of the month “Pink Day.”
