~Unique Postage Stamps~
 
These are some really unique postage stamps, from a stamp that looks & smells like chocolates to a cloth stamp to even a CD-ROM stamp!

This stamp was printed on silver foil by the government of Tonga

These stamps issued in Malaysia feature a variety of nocturnal animals and actually glow in the dark

In 2004, Switzerland issued this wooden stamp made from 120-year-old fir trees

Switzerland also produced this embroidered stamp in 2000, celebrating the world-famous embroidery created in St. Gallen, one of the Swiss cantons

This Austrian stamp from 2005 is similarly made of threads, embroidered into the design of the Edelweiss, the well-known alpine flower. The stamp was issued in honour of the Austrian embroidery industry, which dates back to the eighteenth century. The stamp has a self-adhesive backing, but can even be worn if so desired

Austria Post also produced in the world’s first stamp made of soccer ball material in 2008, to mark the UEFA Euro soccer tournamen

In 2006, Austria issued this curious stamp, which could even be said to be out of this world. The stamp contains 0.03 grams of dust from a meteorite found in Morocco two years earlier, which was fixed to the stamp with a special adhesive:

These cloth stamps from Grenada, the Gambia, Sierra Leone and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, honour the humble teddy bear

The Rock of Gibraltar is one of the world’s most recognized natural features and it appeared on this Gibraltar stamp in more ways than one in 2002. The stamp’s top layer is actually embellished with finely pulverizedpieces of rock from the famous landmark

A Singapore souvenir set of $5 stamps from 2008 was covered in beads on a sheet shaped like a handbag

Several countries around the world have produced scented stamps offering a variety of different aromas.

Issued to raise awareness of the dangers of forest fires, these Brazilian stamps smell of burnt wood

Also from Brazil, where most of the planet’s supply of coffee beans originates, this stamp is scented with thearoma of coffee, one of the country’s largest exports

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ges/coffee.jpg

Another country renowned for a product derived from beans is Switzerland, world famous for its chocolate. This stamp was sold in a foil-wrapped booklet, similar to most chocolate bars. However, the stamp merely smells likechocolate and apparently when licked tastes exactly like glue

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2.../switchoco.jpg

In honor of the centenary of the Nobel Prizes in 2001, the United Kingdom issued this stamp with the scent ofeucalyptus. When the stamp is scratched, eucalyptus aroma, hidden in tiny capsules in the stamp’s top layer, is released
The stamp shown below right is giving off sandalwood scent; it comes from India.

These embossed stamps, depicting famous world leaders, are printed on plastic

More recently, Bhutan introduced postage stamps that doubled as actual CD-ROMs. One is entitled “Bhutan: In Harmony with Nature”, the other “Bhutan: 100 Years of Monarchy”.
