Christmas Stamp

[Spartancrest]

 

I just ordered some Christmas stamps tonight, they might get a few heads shaking. Here in OZ we can have our own stamp designs made for everyday postage or for special events like a wedding etc. This year Australia Post has allowed even Christmas postage stamps to be made by the general public.

 https://auspost.com.au/shop/product/mystamps-mystamps-m and from what I see there is no restriction on overseas orders either [I have no idea if you can use the stamps if sent from overseas however?] So some members might like to have their favourite Tosogu item 'immortalized' as a sheet of postage stamps. Last year I had a different design made see this link:

That's amazing.  USPS should get into design-your-own; it would probably be a money maker.

Hi Dave, I think that is exactly why Aus/post allow it, it makes them money [though with this $16 'special' not much money = $3 profit]

This is not a stamp but I am sure it will interest some members. A five dollar silver coin from Samoa.
