Hi Graham Reg. the Hering price. Actually the DDR (GDR) used both DM (Deutsche Mark), MDM (Mark der Deutschen Notenbank) and M (Mark). DM from 1948-64. Then MDN from 64-67. And from 1968 on, the M denomination. So this Hering made in Rostock DDR is from the sixties.

Graham what a fantastic episode! I LOVE what they did with the carousel stamps... That was exciting for me because contrary to popular opinion I was originally not a huge fan of them - mostly because I think a single stamp from that set on an envelope looks awkward due to the shape. But obviously I was being unimaginative! The way they displayed it on the parcel is brilliant and turned me from a 'hater' into a fan! Haha. Dragged my husband over to see and he said it looks like a board game. How cool! Someday I hope to bring the little one out to that carousel, too! 5 cents is not a bad price at all. Thanks for this episode, you make them look effortless. 🐱

The pre-decimal system is very old and dates back to the reform of Charlemagne in the eighth century. The basis was one pound of silver, called "libra". It was divided into twelve solidi and 240 denarii. This is where the predecimal symbols on British stamps come from: the pound symbol for libra, the shilling for the solid, and the penny for the denarius.

Another great episode. Lots to learn about. My personal recollection about the UK decimal day in 1971. I was just starting to sit my school exams at that time so had to forget all I had learned about the old £/s/d and switch to £/p. (I also had to juggle Imperial/metric unit around the same time. (Science subjects were using cm/Kg etc but everything else was still in feet/pounds). An odd fact about machins in the UK. In 1997, there was a set of machins issued as 20, 26, 37 & 63 (others followed). The 'P' was left out because they were issued as Welsh Regional stamps and pence is not a Welsh word. There were also dual language NVI's so Welsh stamps had 1 AF/ST or 2 AIL/ND on them. Not content with swapping from QEII to KCIII, 'forever' stamps (we call them NVI, No value indicated) without the QR code will no longer be valid in the UK from sometime this year.
@ExploringStamps Жыл бұрын
Thanks Iain 😊 . I kinda wish that the US would fully switch to metric, juggling imperial and metric is quite a pain (I still don't have a full grasp of the imperial system). Yes I learned about the missing P issues 😬. I dont think I have any, but something that I need to pay closer attention to, a Machin collection has so many nuances to enjoy. Thanks so much for watching!

We didn’t have Australian (national) banknotes or coins until 1910, before then we used a miss-mash of UK and other coins with local banks issuing their own banknotes too.

Hi, in Ukraine we still have the option to make your own stamp. But there is a problem. First, the stamp dealers sell them too, so you can accidentally buy stamp that isn’t official lets say, and the second problem is that people start to make stamps “russian warship…” so there a lot of similar but not original stamps… its just fun fact, thanks for the video :)
