A new stamp of HM The King gets the ‘stamp’ of approval

[Foster88]

The new postage stamp we will see is to be released from 4th April this year.

A new stamp gets the Royal ‘stamp’ of approval, I thought this may be of interest to fellow members given our shared interest, its another obvious change. But this time it isn’t the change of monarch on our coins but the change of our stamps.

A King without a crown. (On the stamp)

A stamp fit for a King of the modern world?

Its all change again.

The QR code is an aesthetic triumph

Not the first King not to wear a crown, however, first not to have a crown at all on the stamp

Those barcodes look awful. I can imagine the disappointment of stamp collectors when they first saw them.

I agree about the bar codes, but I'm sure they could be made to be less obtrusive:

Oooh I love stamps. ☺️ I’ll see if I can manage to get a couple FDCs when they’re released, although I suspect they’ll sell out before I get a chance to grab one.

Does anyone else look at the barcodes and think of Pacman?

That was a "notty" answer to a possibly knotty question,was it not?

I'm suprised that @HerefordBullyun has not responded yet recommending that KC visits Blackpool, and suggests he gets me to show him around!
