  International money order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An international money order is very similar in many aspects to a regular money order except that it can be used to make payments abroad.
International money orders are often issued by a buyer's bank and bought in the currency that the seller accepts.
International money orders are thought to be safer than sending currency through the post because there are various forms of identification required in order to cash an international money order often including a signature, and a form of photo identification.

 FAKE USPS POSTAL MONEY ORDER - Vendio Community
More than 3,700 counterfeit postal money orders were intercepted from October to December, exceeding the total for the previous 12 months, according to postal inspectors.
The trend is significant, because unlike private business checks or even other money orders, the postal money order is generally regarded as one of the more difficult financial documents to counterfeit because of its watermarks, security threads and a rainbow of inked patterns and tones.
The best way to identify a genuine postal money order, postal service officials say, is to look for the telltale watermark, which, when held up to the light, should reveal an image of Benjamin Franklin.
