Can you cancel a money order?

In: Banking [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

The money orders I have encountered were as good as gold to the purchaser right up until they were made out to someone else, at which point they were worth something only if redeemed by that person; and, as such, there was no earthly reason or benefit to be gained from any type of cancellation. Money orders can, however, expire. And, where a crime has occurred concerning the theft of money orders which have been registered, the attempt to pass a stolen money order is handled much in the same way as attempting to pass counterfeit currency of other types. At least, that is my understanding. jb
