Year of the Ox [2009] Marked by Many Nations
Stamps celebrating the year of the ox
December 24, 2008
All over the world, government postal systems recognize the importance of the lunar new year to many of their citizens and to those in East Asia by issuing stamps. These stamps tend to be lucrative for the systems that issue them as many of the stamps purchased are held by collectors and aren't ever used to mail letters. Many private organizations also issue stamps which cannot be used to mail anything, but celebrate the new year. The year of the ox begins on January 26, 2009 and ends on February 13, 2010.
