<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 539341, member: 15062&quot;]Several of us here are, or were, stamp collectors as well as collecting coins or paper money and are probably familiar with these stamps.&nbsp; Over the years there have been exactly three (four if you count pairs as separate) United States stamps that have featured United States coins or paper bills.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The two 10 cent stamps here commemorated Commerce and the Banking Industry.&nbsp; The 29 cent stamp commemorated Numismatics.&nbsp; The 13 cent stamp was an experimental issue which was about 2/3 the size of a usual stamp.&nbsp; It was an experiment to test smaller sized stamps in an effort to save printing costs.&nbsp; The test went nowhere.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The coins are easy enough to recognize; I&#039;ll leave it up to the paper collectors to identify the bills. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.geocities.com/dyouse2000/tempix/stamp3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.geocities.com/dyouse2000/tempix/stamp2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.geocities.com/dyouse2000/tempix/stamp1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
