I had to get one to pay a $10 or $20 parking ticket in Ely, MN in 2002. They sometimes come up in situations where paying cash for something presents a massive opportunity for abuse.
Imagine the cop who wrote that ticket being able to collect the fine in cash, and that's $10 into his or her pocket rather than $10 less overhead into the city coffers.
