Macao SAR to Issue New Stamps
The Postal Services of China's Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) will issue a set of new stamps to mark the 14th population census as of August 23.
The set includes three varieties of stamps bearing the face value of 1 pataca (12.5 U.S. cents), 1.5 patacas (18.75 cents) and 2.5 patacas (31.25 cents), and a total of 750,000 sets will be issued, Carlos Roldao Lopes, director of the Postal Services, said at a press conference Tuesday.
Other postal products, such as souvenir sheet, first-day cover and introduction paper, will also be available.
Lopes said that it will be the ninth set of stamps for the year 2001, following a set of special stamps issued to commemorate Beijing's successful bid for hosting the 2008 Olympic games.
