The United States postal music stamps ~ the "Forevers" Pt 1
~
"Forever" stamps were initiated by the United States Postal Service® (USPS®) on March 26, 2007. In 2011 it began a "Forever" music series.
Forever Stamps are non-denominational First Class® postage, which means that they can be used to mail First Class letters no matter what the postal rate. For example, in 2013 it cost $0.46 to mail a normal-sized letter weighing one ounce or less to an address within the United States. In 2014, the rate increased to $0.49. Customers who purchased Forever Stamps in 2013 at the rate of $0.46 each may still use those stamps to mail their First Class letters today without adding additional postage to the envelope. Other stamps in the series are Ray Charles, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.
The latest "Forever" music stamp featured a four-time Grammy Award winner, "The Divine One", Sarah Vaughan.
