Stamp

Stamps are valuable primary function as a token payment of porto and postal costs. However, an interesting variety of images on a postage stamp could be a means to convey the message about the various interests of society, the moral message, describing the beauty of nature, and also describes the history. Before stamps existed, the cost of mail delivery is still done by paying in cash. But with the stamps, each person can send mail using the appropriate postage mailing costs. Let's look at a brief history of stamps.
