My two hobbies become one, with these stamps issued in 2005. They depict an 1855 Sovereign, The first Australian coin. The stamps are valued at about $9 for the 2. I can afford that. Don't think I could afford the real coin. Anyone else collect stamps too?

Gary, I'm shocked, you mean we found something that you don't collect. LOL

Steve, I guess I do still collect...in a way. Each time I have received coins from Australia I cut off the stamps and put them in a drawer. Can't help myself!!

I thought for sure Triggersmob was referring to beer and women!!! But I see he is STILL on topic here with coins and stamps! I bought some coins and stamps out of Canada a few years ago that are still very high on my "keep" list. Seeing how the silver Moose is selling in the $200 range and the Grizzly Bear is supposed to be the first coin impossible to counterfeit (so is the stamps) and is an $8 dollar coin on top of that. I believe I have the Grizzly Bear, Polar Bear, the Moose, the Loon and the Whitetail Deer in the series. I now regret passing on the Wild Horses from the series. While I am not a stamp collector (used to be) I am impressed with these HUGE stamps Canada made for these sets! Now lets get back to the beer and women. I guess there is a woman on Triggersmob's coins but I am waiting for the beer!!!

Someone mention beer? Whenever I post a parcel I always try to put a mixture of Aussie stamps on the package rather than those machine printed sticker thingies. Just in case the receiver is into stamps.

Sorry to disappoint you, Twoshadows.
I have many coins and stamps with women on them, but I can't recall one that would have beer. Maybe someone that knows how to use photoshop, could whip one up for you.

Leave it to Belgium. Although I would have put money on Germany for beer themed stamps.

I can't help but wonder what the glue tastes like on back of that stamp?

It is a miscoception since Belgium probably has more speciality beers then Germany especially in the brown black abbey beers of triple strength that is like 12 degrees alcohol ( whisky has 40 degrees ) The pictured beer Geuze can only be brewed in caves around Brussels since it needs bacteria and live fermentation . My brother had several bottles exploding in his cellar since the fermentation continued . Normally the bottles have a cork like a champaign bottle with a wire around it . And I never saw that stamp before since they rather sell them to collectors then to lettre posting public

There was another stamp I saw, Trappiste. I know well that Belgium has the largest variety of specialty beers, but still, at least when I think of beer, I still think Germany and it's biergartens and oktoberfest and all of that. Might be because I do have German heritage, on my Mom's side.
