I sometimes collect stamps. Do you?
That is something I've never done, although it has been one of the world's most popular hobbies since the late 19th century.
Are there any stamps in particular that have a lot of meaning?
Well, they are usually collected for their historical value but also for the subjects on them, such as ships, horses, birds, even kings, queens and presidents.
Neat! Is there anything else cool you can tell me about stamps?
People have actually produced fake stamps to fool avid collectors and get their money!

I'm not exactly sure, although there was a lot of opportunity as each country sought to show it's distinctiveness through stamps.
