I would say, in this case, to start by explaining to the younger ones so is a postal book. Today, there are many ways to save large amounts of money between investments, pension funds and savings policies. Once, however, without referring to too many years ago, it was the post which assured us this investment service; precisely through the so-called Postal books. Born in 1876, thanks to the finance minister Quintino Sella who instituted savings banks at post offices, postal books are nothing more than savings funds. It was very common, for example, even just 30 years ago for our grandparents to deposit a postal book in our name; with the hope that the deposited sum could yield, one day, a large amount of money.
The postal booklet from € 300.00
This is what happened, roughly, to a citizen of the province of Modena, that, a few years ago, he found himself in possession of a post office book he had filed in 1949 with a deposit amount of just 600 lire (as soon as 31 euro cents today) who had accrued the overwhelming sum of ben 300,000 euros. Not very different, a few years to followwas the story of another citizen of the province of Lecce that in 1958 deposited a much higher amount (250,000 lire, equivalent to About 130 Euros) and he too found himself with a sum that, after having been fruitful for several yearsreached i € 300,000.
For both, however, the news of which we are aware, report tough legal disputes in that, both booklets were in one status no more prescribable and so no longer suitable for collecting money. Know the status of your bookletso, is essential if you want to avoid losing the collection of your money. Not too long ago Italian posthe defined as “Sleepers” all those booklets that don’t record no movement for more than 10 years or they have a balance of less than € 100. I was you at this point in case you were owners of a postal bookI would try to make sure that everything is going on in the norm.
