New stamp issuing territories

Victor,

the Hugo van Reyen Agency on the Channel Islands were responsible for
their stamp issueing facilities long ago! Nothing changes, just the number
of stamps per year may increase! They could not really be considered
postage stamps at all for some 15-20 years already. So why bother when
Dunes fall apart into smaller Dunes .....

groetjes, Rein

(of course!) under the name Caribisch Nederland.

Caribbean Netherlands will switch its currency to US$, and St. Maarten
will have its own currency, which is a must for a territory of 34 Km2
and under 40,000 inhabitants.

All of them were scheduled for issuing stamps on October, 10th.

Victor,

most of the face values had nothing to do with postage! But that may mean
no argument to you

I am in favour of collecting anything that is worth collecting and these
Caribbean seals may be a little bit more postal than the Tonga tincan-mail
or the Pitcairn's Captain Blighs...

But if you got just enough money to spend some on philately once and a
while - just forget them, they are not worth it!

groetjes, Rein

Thanks, Rein! I agree that the number of stamps may increase.

I just wonder why those stamps you mention, issued during the last 15-20
years, cannot be considered postage stamps. Aren't they more or less
like the Austrian, Indian, Romanian and so many others stamps, issued by
an agency named IGPC (I wonder that The Netherlands isn't on the list)?

Are these also Dunes but ones that grow bigger and bigger, and therefore
we should bother?
