Product Description
20 October 2014 - Faststamp caption change.The late decision to retain the 10g Worldwide and Postcard rate in the April 2014 tariff caused some confusion over the validity of Post and Go stamps and the monetary value of older Faststamps and booklet stamps. Previously the machines dispensed two stamps with the same value for different services (Europe 20g, Worldwide 10g).
From 31 March the Worldwide 10g and 40g stamps were dropped and replaced by 60g stamps.
On IAR machines at the BPMA and events, the caption was changed from 28 April. On NCR machines it was changed in June. Collectors were led to believe that Wincor-Nixdorf machines would not be changed, but they were, on 20 October. There are few of these machines remaing as most have been changed to NCR, and some of the WN machines are out of order.
The Europe 20g NVI has now changed to show
Euro 20g
World 10g
This is a single undated Machin stamp.
