Kosovo Stamps?
Can anyone here tell me if any stamps have been issued for Kosovo since
the UNMIK set of 5 in 2000? These were denominated in DM, but Kosovo seems to use the euro now. = Eric |

On Nov 12, 2001, there was a new set of 5 dual denominated DM & Euro.
In 2002, there was a third set in Euros only. Regards Len Nadybal On Sun, 23 Nov 2003 14:38:01 -0800, Eric Bustad wrote: Can anyone here tell me if any stamps have been issued for Kosovo since the UNMIK set of 5 in 2000? These were denominated in DM, but Kosovo seems to use the euro now. = Eric |

You're welcome - any idea, however on what currency Bosnia is now
using? They've not issued stamps in Euros, as far as I know, and every reference place I look, I still see the nonexistent German mark is legal tender there (spelled in local parlance, however). Where are they getting new banknotes? Regards Len .. On Mon, 01 Dec 2003 17:21:13 -0800, Eric Bustad wrote: Thanks Len!

Bosnia's currency is called the "Convertible Marka" (abbr. KM), which is
divided into 100 "Convertible Pfeniga". There are links to images of the notes at http://www.banknotes.com/ba.htm. Originally these could be converted by the Central Bank to DM one to one. Now they are convertable to Euros at the DM:Euro rate 1:0.51129. The Central Bank's website is at http://www.cbbh.gov.ba/. The lastest stamps listed on their PO's site http://www.bhp.ba/ are all in this currency. = Eric LN in DC wrote: You're welcome - any idea, however on what currency Bosnia is now using?

Kosovo is using the Euro. They are not authorized to issue their own
Euro notes, so presumably they import currency from the EU. See http://www.bpk-kos.org/english/currency.htm for more info. = Eric A.E.

Gee, TC.
Thanks for the referral to Exclave.info. It's the first time ever I've seen someone make a link to my website with whom I've never had a connection or prior correspondence. Somebody found it!
