Some countries issue non-denominated stamps, which cost (when purchased) the amount to send a letter, but are still valid to send that letter even if the postage rate later increases.
In the UK, these include "First class", "Second class", "First class large" etc stamps. In the USA, there's a "Forever" stamp.
I have a few, as it's easier to stick a stamp on my grandma's birthday card than either visit a post office, or buy postage online. But I only send about two ordinary letters a year.
- yoz-y 6y agoI think we have something similar in France but I'm not sure. I remember that the one time I actually needed to send letters which I have pre-stamped, was when I was sending applications to universities. Fun thing happened though, as the postage has increased _the day after_ I've bought and stamped my envelopes. So then when coming to post office I needed to buy something like three 2cent stamps.
