USA Global Forever 20130128
On January 28, 2013, the United States Postal Service (USPS) will introduce a new Global Forever® Rate stamp suitable for international postage. The Global Forever® stamp offers a single price for any First-Class Mail International 1-ounce letter to any country in the world. The Global Forever® stamp is in response to the USPS rate change which takes effect on January 27, 2013. This stamp features a rendering of Earth composed of images created from satellite data and redesigned with 3D computer technology. The view of our planet shows the Atlantic Ocean flanked by the Americas, Africa, and part of northern Europe. In the stamp art, the globe is isolated on a white background. The shape of the stamp is round. The text, which surrounds the image of Earth, includes the words “Global Forever.” The circular stamps are being issued in self-adhesive sheets of 20 at the $1.10 rate, or $22.00 per sheet.
