Forever Stamp from the United States Post Office

Written by SeniorsResourceGuide.com Staff

The United States Post Office has developed the new The Forever Stamp. This stamp will better serve customers and ease the transition for purchasing stamps when prices change. The Forever Stamp will be good for mailing a typical 1 ounce First Class Letter forever, regardless of future price increases.

To ensure customers have an adequate supply of stamps before the May 14th price change, The Forever Stamp is going on sale at 41 cents on April 12th. Beyond that date the Forever Stamp will always sell at the existing First Class price.

The Forever Stamp Design

The Forever Stamp design depicts the Liberty Bell. This is one of the nation's most prominent band timeless symbols associated with American Independence. Over the years, the historic significance of the Liberty Bells' message has transcended our national borders and become an international symbol of freedom.

Beginning April 12th the Forever Stamp will be available in booklets of 20 through local post offices and online at www.usps.com.

As this time there are no plans to limit the purchase of the Forever Stamp prior to the May 14th price change date. More than four billion Forever Stamps have been printed and additional quantities will be printed as needed. The flexibility of the printing process allows the United States Post Office to meet any additional demand.

2-cent Makeup Stamps

The United States Post Office is also printing plenty of 2-cent Navajo Jewelry Stamps to use with existing 39-cent stamps. The Post office also has other denominations of stamps available for other classes of residential and commercial mail customers.
