Refimprove date July 2007 The South African PostalUnion Convention was signed during 1897, and came into effect on 1 January 1898. The intention of the Convention was to allow the payment of postal order s between the Cape of Good Hope , Colony of Natal Natal , the Orange Free State , and the South African Republic . The paying entity was required to repatriate the postal orders back to the issuing British colony or Boer republics . The Convention lapsed in late 1899, due to the outbreak of the Second Boer War . The postal orders that were supposed to have been returned to the issuing entities were put into storage. Upon the capture of the Orange Free State and the South African Republic during 1900 by the United Kingdom British , the paid postal orders were looted and souvenired.

Essentially, they were postage stamp s printed on United States Department of the Treasury Treasury paper . After the American Civil War broke out the Union American Civil War Union stopped redeeming its Demand Note s in Coin specie at the end of 1861 and many people started hoarding coins .

Deprived of coins with which to make change, many businesses issued their own notes, tokens, or similar printed matter as a way of making change. Some resorted to encasing postage stamps in transparent holders which inspired the government to authorize the Postage Currency later in 1862. The 5 and 10 notes depicted the same pictures as the postage stamps that were current at the time with Thomas Jefferson and George Washington .
