The earliest news of the suspension of the sale of stamps was about the UkInputera, which is rumored to stop issuing new stamps in 2040.
Because it was a few years ago, there is no way to verify where the news is.
This time is also quite interesting, 2040, the first stamp black penny issued 200 years ago. It feels a bit fake.
What can now be found is that Iceland has indeed stopped issuing new stamps.
As you can see from their official website, the last set of stamps was issued on October 29, 2020. This last set of stamps in Iceland is also magical, consisting of 7 different sets of stamps, which are probably issued to save resources and improve efficiency.
Due to the sparse population of Iceland, there is little delivery business. The previously issued stamps were not exhausted, which caused a waste of resources in Iceland, so it simply stopped selling them and made a lot of layoffs. The small editor of the window of foreign mail found that the Icelandic Post did not lie, and now the official website shows that the 2003 stamp annual album is still in stock and can be purchased at the original price.
In fact, not only Iceland, Norway, Denmark and other remote and small-populated Nordic countries also have the same problem, if you communicate with friends in Denmark, it is likely to post stamps from 10-20 years ago. The United States is even more frightening, and it is not surprising that it is not surprising to receive stamps from the 1960s and even earlier as postage envelopes.

In addition, Hungary, Romania, East and West Germany and other countries, stamps between 1950 and 2000 have become a collapse.
Monaco, France, Belgium and other legal countries are close behind. Portugal, Spain and other countries are also in danger, which shows that these developed regions in Europe and the United States, the philatelic industry is developed, the stamp circulation is fast, and the stamp price is also falling quickly.
New Zealand is more interesting because the business decline is so bad that in order to improve efficiency, they are simply prepared not to stamp stamps. If the collector needs a date stamp, he can go to the post office with the philatelic product to apply for a staff stamp.
Some people will say, what if stamps are used repeatedly? Do you really think most people would do that? New Zealand is a country with very developed social welfare, and I am afraid that few people will bother to save this tariff and face a loss of credibility. And arranging so many staff to date stamps for a small number of unruly people is obviously a posting by New Zealand Post.
Well, if many or even the world's stamps really stopped being issued, would that be a good thing or a bad thing for the philatelic community? Is philately really at the end of the road?
It is difficult to say that the decline of philatelic activities itself is nothing more than a matter of speed and delay, and the cessation of stamp sales is nothing more than salting the wound and making it worse. It may even have a little positive impact.
Because most of the subject matter, stamps are issued repeatedly, and everything in the world can become the content of stamps. Therefore, the new content that stamps can expand is very limited. One is to keep pace with the times and expand new content, such as the new crown epidemic and blockchain in recent years. One is to deepen the topic, such as medical themes, heart disease content more, then send an Alzheimer's menopause or something, animal theme stamps, giraffe content too much, just send a mosquito fly.
But because everyone you think of can think of the same, you will still crash, too narrow content is bound to narrow the audience, stamps are also not easy to sell. So instead of continuing to expand the content of the stamp, it is better to stop and study the existing content.
At the same time, the sale of stamps will be stopped, and everyone will cherish the stamps issued in the past, and maybe the philatelic activities can return to the light.
Of course, these are all hypotheses now, stop or not, we who still insist on philately old diehards may not matter, the previous stamps are enough to play, the future stamps and we have little to do with each other, has long put the value out of the way. Investors who make a profit on stamps are also affected.
The editor last talked about several characteristics of the new generation of stamp issuance, among which is a small number, a large variety, and a special theme. The suspension of the Icelandic Post was more complete and simply abandoned. And we are still insisting on millions of prints, and there is a feeling that we can't sell and we have to print. What does it mean other than that a hungry camel is bigger than a horse?
