    How easy are they to cash? If I send to someone in Michigan how will they cash it?

      Hello, Marilyn! Your recipient shouldn’t have any trouble cashing it. Check Into Cash and Kroger are two options that cash money orders and have locations in Michigan. (Note that there may be a maximum amount limit depending on how much cash the store has on hand.) If they have a bank account, they can also visit their bank to cash or deposit it. Best of luck with your transaction!
