Czech postal service to change stamps

The Czech postal service will be implementing a wide-ranging update of its stamps on Wednesday. In addition to the monetary value, stamps will also be marked with letters denoting their different categories. The letter A will be printed on stamps to be used for deliveries within the Czech Republic, the letter E for those to be used within Europe and stamps designated for international deliveries will bear the letter Z. The postal service is also planning further changes: stamps will soon be self-adhesive, and the rule under which no living personalities other than the president can be featured on stamps will be abolished.
