An example of a place where stamp and coin sales provide a significant revenue stream is the Falkland Islands. Despite being tiny, there's a post office there that sells commemorative stamps and coins[0]. It does brisk business every time a cruise ship pulls in to town, with very few of those stamps or coins expected to be used for their supposed purpose: "The presentation of any collector coins for redemption is unlikely as the selling prices and precious metal values exceed face value"[1].
