Euro Zone - pre Euro era stamps valid for postage?
Greetings friends:
I know that France still accepts stamps denominated in Francs and Centimes to pay for postage. Does this also apply in all or in specific Euro Zone countries? In such cases, is there an expiry date for using such stamps? Thank You for any assistance. Blair |

news:1087466.880.1333942897576.JavaMail.geo-discussion-forums@vbdn7... I know that France still accepts stamps denominated in Francs and Centimes to pay for postage. Does this also apply in all or in specific Euro Zone countries? In such cases, is there an expiry date for using such stamps? Blair, Each country seems to have its own regulations. Below I list three examples, found on the Web: - British stamps issued since 1971 and the QE2 £1 stamps issued before that are all valid. - All stamps issued by Belgium after 1963 remain valid, even if they are still denominated in franks. - In the Czech republic the stamps are valid from 1993 till now. -- Victor Manta, PWO, AIJP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Blair After july the 1. 2002, the stamps of Germany (DM) and Austria (Schilling) were not valid any more. In Germany exchange into Euro-stamps at a post office was possible up to the end of September. In Austria, the exchange at post offices stopped at July the 1.- afterwards the exchange was only possible at the General Post-office - but you had to pay a fee. by the way - GB is not part of the Euro-zone. Stamps are still valid, since decimal. Peter |
