Postage stamp reuse : ウィキペディア英語版 | Postage stamp reuse
The article outlines methods used in the design of postage stamps to avoid their fraudulent reuse (mainly by removing the postmark), attempted to avoid postage fees. It does not concern methods to limit the production of fake or forgery (rare) postage stamps to abuse the collectors. ==Problem== The crux of the problem was the stamp paid the fee for a single usage of the mails, but the stamp itself tended to arrive at the destination in reasonably good condition; it would be the work of a moment to remove the stamp from the envelope and then attach it to another piece of mail ''after'' removal of the postmark. In the 19th century, the fee for sending a letter was often a significant percentage of a daily wage. Some enterprising individuals discovered that the postmark inks could be removed from the stamps, although they were assumed not water-soluble. In many countries, such as the United States reuse of used stamps, cancelled or not, is illegal.
