Postage Rate Increase
How the heck did I miss this? Or did they do a good job of keeping it quiet?

Aren't they selling 2 cent stamps just for reasons like this?

It was all over the news in late November, early December.

I knew about it. In fact, I just looked up last night the date the increase takes place (Jan 8) so that I could make sure I had the right postage on the bills I mailed this morning.

I have to be honest.
I haven't known the postage rate since stamps were a quarter. |

I hate the stamps that have no value printed on them. You find some laying around in a drawer somewhere and have no clue what extra postage you're gonna need.

How do the postage machine readers in the stations know how much a stamp is? Is there some kind of coded patern on them?

I was shredding some really old, useless papers at work and I ran across an envelope from 1979 that had a stamp on it. 15 cents.
