First US global forever stamp, and Inverted Jenny SS

The first US global forever stamp will be introduced on January 28, without
any first-day ceremony. It shows a digital illustration of the world. It
will be used to mail an 1-ounce international (or domestic) letter to any
country of the world.

The new international letter rate eliminated the lower postage rate that
exists for decades for letters mailed to Canada and Mexico and represents a
new increase of the postal rates in the US.

For all those who cannot afford an original Inverted Jenny , the USPS will
issue a souvenir sheet of 6 stamps, to be sold for $2 only. The banner will
read: Stamp Collecting.
