<p>[QUOTE="Philly Dog, post: 197266, member: 7726"]It is 3 people locked in a room under the eye of the Postal Inspection service with a very huge shredder that can shred a 2x4. When your local Post Offices have stamp stock that is no longer needed it must be sent into the District about 3 times a year only when allowed by the district. Each office is accountable for there stamp stock so when they count it up and then they send it registered to us we had to count and verify it by the 3 of us if the count was off we would offer to send it back or they could except our count. Some offices have over million of stamp stock so they have to keep good records or they will be paying out of there own pockets.</p><p>When all is counted the stamps are then shredded then placed in a trash compacter. We had a Tractor trailer full when the stamps went from .37 to .39 too much to shred had to be burned at a giant incinerator almost 100 million in stock lots of .37 stamps up in smoke witnessed by yours truly </p><p> </p><p>Was I glad when my 3 years on that crap was done</p><p>Counting was nerver ending[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
