<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 360067, member: 66&quot;]That was true the procedure was you had to go to the post office and wait in line to get an order blank which you then had time stamped.&nbsp; You then had to leave the post office and go find a phone to call a number o get the current price. (Remember this was before cell phones).&nbsp; Then you had to go back to the post office and wait in line again to get your order blank time stamped again.&nbsp; If th time difference between the to stamps was too great the price quote was void and you had to start over (The government was really scared of losing money on a shift in the spot price so I believe the time window was either 30 minutes or an hour.&nbsp; And those of you who have had to stand in long lines at a busy post office know how difficult it might be to hit that time window.).&nbsp; If the quote was good you then had to pay for the medallions up front in cash to get Postal money orders which were then sent in with the order blank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
