United Nations Issues Disability Stamps

The United Nations Postal Administration has issued six new stamps on the theme of “Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

The two U.S. stamps include a 42-cent and a 94-cent disability stamp.

The 42 cent stamp has a deep blue background with the wheelchair symbol and the word “Accessibility.” The 94-cent stamp has a gold field with the letters U N in white Braille. I wonder if the dots are raised!

If your local post office does not have them yet, the stamps can be ordered on line at http://www.unstamps.un.org
