Here in Germany, you could use vintage stamps up till 2002, when the Euro was introduced as our new currency. Since then, you can only use stamps showing the postage in Euro-Cents. So now, vintage stamps would be the ones with both currencies (DM and Euro), as that is how the "new" stamps were introduced (trying to make it easier to find one's way around). Beste Grüße, *johanna* Nice!!

It was really neat, now I might have to go back and get some.

I didn't realize you could buy unused old stamps! Way cool, thanks for sharing. Oh, I love old stamps and have bunches (although nearly all are cancelled and from received mail).

Earlier this year I sold my childhood stamp collection including hundreds of vintage stamps from the 60's. Now I see that I should have kept some of them!!
