Have also read about a coffee stamp, I think from The Netherlands.

Victor Manta

================================================== =================
Brazil issued a second set of scented stamps in December 2001, this
time smelling of coffee.

The scent on these stamps was made with real coffee that was roasted,
ground and filtered under pressure. It was then processed into
microcapsules, mixed with clear varnish and applied to the printed
stamps.

The scent is released by lightly rubbing the stamp's surface with a
fingertip.

The specialists who created the process claim that the aroma should
last for three to five years.

ago...

Those are the ones I attributed to Dunes. I have them somewhere - thought
they were interesting enough not to just pass up.

Thanks to all, I see that at least 3 countries in my colleting area have
smellables for me to go after.

thanks again,
Frank

Those "dunes", that you see in Bhutan, are called
the Himalayas. 8*P

The she I speak of is the computer genius Grace Hopper, inventor of
Cobal computer language, coined the term "bug" and served as an admiral in
the US Navy. She meets the 10 year requirement (she died in 1991).
I also met this lady, had the chance to talk with her and remember it
fondly. It would be kind of cool to see someone I actually have met on a
stamp.

The folk singers Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel reunited this fall, twenty
years after their separation, for a concert tour of North America.

I believe that the authors of unforgettable "El Condor Pasa", "The

Sparrow",
and "The Sound of Silence" deserve a stamp, and this *before* they pass

by.

The lyrics of mentioned songs can be found on:

I too would like to see Adm. Hopper so honored.

Fully agree!

BTW, the name of the language is COBOL, from COmon Business Oriented
Language.

I know it because my wife has programmed in this language during 30 years.
