Stamps Are Important The issue of the world's first adhesive postage stamp in England revolutionized the way mail was sent. After May 6, 1840, the cost of sending a letter was paid by the sender instead of collected from the recipient. The price was just one British penny per ounce, rather than being based on distance. This change enabled the common man to communicate much more affordably. Mail volume more than doubled in the year following its issue. But stamps are important not only because they enable us to communicate through letters; stamps are a statement about who we are as Americans. They are symbols of our struggles and our strengths - of victory in war, progress in peace, and faith in the future. Best of all, stamps give the gift of a fun, happy and healthy hobby to us and 20 million other Americans
