post office cheque/postal check
Explanation:
It's a check bought and paid for at the Post Office, and equivalent to cash; it is similar in what respects the collection risk to a "giro postal", meaning by that a postal remittance, or bank draft, or bank bill.

I suggest you check with the Alcaraz Varó-Hughes Financiero, pages 822/988.-
