The United States Postal Service released 10 new stamps. What makes these stamps unique, aside from their design, is the fact that they're a new kind of Forever stamp. No longer are you limited to a 1-ounce stamp. Now, there are Forever stamps that can be used for postcards, 2-ounce letters and 3-ounce letters. There is also a Forever stamp for a non-machinable surcharge and an additional ounce.
