Extra Poundage on British Postal Orders.—The amounts charged after the expiration of the initial period of currency as extra poundage on British postal orders must be accounted for by chief offices under this special heading, and by sub-offices as remittances from their chief office.

The regulations governing the creation and issue of adhesive stamps, and also the audit thereof, as set forth in the schedule to an Order in Council dated the 25th day of June, 1895, shall, so far as they are applicable, also govern the creation and issue of discount-stamps.

Discount-stamps are of one denomination only—namely, one farthing — and are printed in sheets containing 240 stamps in each sheet.
-
Discount-stamps are sold at every money-order office in a complete sheet or complete sheets, and not otherwise.

Discount-stamps will be supplied to Postmasters in charge of money-order offices through their respective Chief Postmasters. Chief Postmasters will obtain their supplies from the Secretary of Stamps on requisition being made through the Accountant.

Discount-stamps will be redeemed at their face value at any money-order office if presented in quantities of the value of one shilling, or any multiple thereof. Prior to presentation they must be affixed to the special Form Acct. 352, provided for the purpose, a supply of which may be obtained at any post-office money-order office. Discount-stamps which have been obliterated, defaced, or mutilated in any way will not be redeemed.
-
The proceeds arising from the sale of discount-stamps will fall into and become part of the balance of the Post Office Account, to be disbursed therefrom for the redemption of such stamps when presented.
-
Care must be exercised not to confuse discount-stamps with postage-stamps in the explanation of balances.
