I do see a distinct "G" in the word, is it "Mexico" with a "G"?

It does seem to be either a printing freak or a plate flaw as there is a small spur on the "C" that makes it appear like a "G".

It's part of Mexico's newest effort to get stamp collectors to vacation in Mexico. It's a subliminal hint to Mexi Go for your next break from your SCF brothers and sisters.

C, C, senor!
I will Go. It is cold here in the snow zone right now.

When you look at the 'E' in Mexico it explains matters I think. There is a spur in the middle coming from the left hand vertical of E and the upper and lower arms have a curled-inwards kind of cursive thing going on. Hard to read but impressive.

...but seriously, I read this first as menigo, note the x looks like a fat "N", then comes a "G"? such serious errors in terms of alphabet appearance.

so when it's Mexi Go...then perhaps Meni Go!

Thanks all!
