Sub-series consists of postal note stamps and scrips issued by the Post Office Department between 1932 and 1968. The postal note system was introduced in 1898 to allow the transfer of sums of money, with the smallest value being 10 cents. In 1932, postal note stamps were issued in smaller denominations to be added to postal notes or sent on their own. In 1940, the Post Office Department began referring to postal note stamps as postal scrips, to avoid confusion with postage stamps. Postal scrips continued to be used with the money order system that was introduced in 1951, into the 1970s.
