I’ve sent and received letters since PostNord, the Danish postal service, stopped delivering letters. The courier company’s numerical code stamped on an envelope makes me wince every time. The loss of stamps really is a loss. Those lovely miniature artworks that wandered around in our everyday world, casually celebrating literature, science, culture, space, art, nature. Gone.

Never mind the Penny Black. There's a stamp with my library on it.

Stamps as art were, alas, effectively gone before PostNord actually stopped delivering letters. They'd switched to plain fixed-price stamps.

This is about €25 of unused stamps. You couldn't exchange them at the post office before it shut. Now you can only get a refund if you print a special sheet from the PostNord website, attach the stamps to it and pay to send it by certified courier. In other words, they planned it to put you off seeking a refund. A cheap ending to their service, I think.

I showed this to a currently young person the other day and it took some explaining.
