[QUOTE="irina59, post: 1122761, member: 29518"]Thank you,Christian! It's looks like some kind of silly, to spend money to make money, then to spend money to melt money.?why they did so many in first place?:confused: which remind me interesting fact about - encased postage stamp IN US in 1862-1865 ( Civil war) value the silver in coins became more then nominal of coin, and people started to keep this coins , do not use, which came to problem with change in stores and etc. in 1862 John Gault of Boston patented idea of encasing postage stamps ( value the stamps did not change) in metal frame behind a shield of transparent mica, and using them instead of coins for change, on frame they put some advertising stuff. Later the encased postage stamps appear in France, Germany,Spain. I though it's was very cool solving problem:)[/QUOTE]
