N.Z. POSTAL NOTES
NOT INTENDED FOR DISPATCH TO AUSTRALIA. AN IMPRESSION CORRECTED. "The Masterton retailer whose postal note transaction with an Australian firm as reported in yesterday’s “TimesAge” is under some misapprehension regarding the transference of money to Australia,” said another local retailer this morning. “Actually,” said today's informant, "for at least the last 10 years New Zealand postal notes have not been negotiable across the Tasman. Postal notes' are purely for internal transfer of money and' to send amounts abroad through the Post Office, money orders are always used.” This correction of the position was made, said the retailer, because the obvious inference from the report in yesterday’s paper was that New Zealand money was no good in Australia. Whether that was true or not, the fact remained that postal notes had never been negotiable and it was only fair that the earlier statement should be corrected.
