In the Old Country (i.e. when i was a kid in England) The Post Office was government owned and operated, so stampos could be used as legal tender. Often mail-in things would request sending small payments in stamps or a money order rather than cash. Kid obviously didn't have checkbooks. I think companies could cash them in at the post office.
