The invention go the stamp as a means of paying for postal services set the basis for a new collecting trend. Nowadays, many of people seems to have collecting stamps as common. The value of stamps not only for personal collection and self-appreciation, but also have the educational value. A stamp is like a historical snapshot, students thought of study it can learns a lot of history and the development about the country. It is because the stamps have describe list of subjects and human achievements-history, art, religion, tradition, geography, animals, plants, medicine, bridges, buildings, and anything else related to life on earth.
