Hi guys (again) Look at the pic below. It is the only stamp I could find that Canada printed where the "cent" sign came before the stamp price....!!  |

Well I'll be! Isn't that bizarre. Mr Hahn (the designer) must have left his rubber cement jar open that day.  Good catch wert. That is a strange one. |

Another interesting observation of yours wert. What I find curious is to why did Canada Post eliminate the ¢ symbol from stamps issued after the 1965 Christmas set (Scott, Unitrade 443-444) ? |

lithograving... you bugger,(ha,ha) that was going to be one of my next posts. Also when Canada Post prints a stamp, the word "Postes" in French always comes before the word "Postage" in English. Nothing against my French brothers (cause I am half French)....Wonder why they printed stamps in that fashion...??? |

Can't blame Pierre for that one litho. Postes postage predates him by at least 40 years. I think it was first used on the 1927 Confederation issue. |

James you are absolutely correct. I must have been thinking of bilingualism instead.  |

Wert: great stuff! The question being more important than the answer was the premise for a John Le Carre novel called The Russia House, which was made into a great movie. |
