caption_attribution_description: English: Irish 9 shilling Postal Order with additional stamps used in 1969
context_page_description: Postal orders were issued in Ireland from 1881 until they were discontinued in late 2001 just before the change over to the euro. The current alternative is the An Post Postal Money Order which serves an equivalent purpose.
context_section_description: These were of the same design as the early pre-decimal republican ones, but the Irish for 'not negotiable' was changed again to read as 'DOSHANNTA'.
caption: Irish 9 shilling postal order with additional postage stamp used in 1969. Used postal orders are seldom seen because most were destroyed when they were redeemed or cashed at a post office or bank.
