Do we buy postage stamps to post letters or are postage stamps bought because they look beautiful ? Probably, the most well known issue of postage stamps was that of the 'Penny Black'. Franking machines are replacing postage stamps in business sectors, and email and text messages replacing postage stamps in the private sectors. Many countries issue commemorative postage stamps for special events such as the World Cup, and postage stamps are becoming a collector's item. The commemorative postage stamps have their face value,
but they also have an investment value for some collectors. The subject matter used for the postage stamps can be very diverse, including paintings of landscapes, paintings of buildings, and paintings of people. Whatever the subject matter the special issue postage stamps have their own intrinsic beauty.
