Post Clerk scheme uses government bills as ready made checks
The Post Clerk scheme proposes printing government bills with blank spaces that can be filled to pay small amounts such as magazine subscriptions. When filled and endorsed, the bill becomes a check and is otherwise currency. The only extra cost would be a two cent postage stamp for the government fee on conversion. The plan, praised by Congress, financiers, and the press, aims to reduce the risk and inconvenience of mailing money for small payments.
