Only six hundred of these were ever issued and since all postage by that point already cost at least four rand the half cent stamp was entirely useless. Nine in mint condition unperforated were sold at auction in 1956 but none have been seen since"

The fact that lots of real world code uses OpenSSL is one of those things it's going to be hard for our descendants to understand. Like explaining that people used to Smoke cigarettes on aeroplanes. But why though, that's crazy. Yes, yes it is.
