NOTICE
Changes to Canada Post Money Order Form
Beginning with serial number 816,504,001, Canada
Post is introducing a new security feature on its postal
money order. Money orders with serial numbers lower than
816,504,001 may still be sold and cashed after the
enhanced money order is introduced. The new version
began appearing in late July and outlets will receive them
as part of their normal money order replenishment process.
Changes to Front of Money Order
The front of the new money order will have a "verification
box." The pink color in the box reacts to heat and disappears either when you hold the box area between your
thumb and forefinger, when you breathe directly on the box
itself, or when you rub it with your finger to create friction.
The pink re-appears after 1 minute.
All other security features of the money order are still
present and some are described on the reverse of the
money order.
Changes to Back of Money Order
The changes to the back of the money order are the
result of new banking guidelines. The back of the enhanced
money order will contain a box for the teller stamp, which is
used when being cashed at a bank, and a black endorsement line. The words "Back/Endos" have also been added.
