(...) I always ask my Canadian sellers if they can cash the green ones ok. The pink ones cost a lot more ($3.50 instead of $0.80) so especially for small orders, it's worth using the green ones if ok. (...) This is what I've always assumed happened. (...)

Hi, I have a few green Postal Money Orders from USPS that are only negotiable in the US. Since I'm in Canada, my bank won't let me do anything with those money orders.
