New Year Greeting stamp Showa43 Issued on December 11, 1967
The 1968 New Year stamp was issued on December 11, 1967 (Showa 42). In this year as well, 7yen (1 billion) New Year's postcards without donations and 7 yen face value + 1 yen donation postcards (450 million) were issued. 70 million New Year stamps (about 1/20 against postcards) were issued. The reason for the increase in issuance is that Japan has entered an era of high economic growth since 1965, and demand for New Year's cards has also increased. childIn the same year as the previous year, the ratio of New Year stamps is large in the issuance of New Year stamps and New Year stamps. It is probable that the reason is that, as in the previous year, it was judged that the issuance of New Year stamps was more profitable for the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. (The number of stamps issued this year has decreased from 100 million in the previous year to 70 million due to the end of the stamp boom.) The design is Miyazaki Toy's "Nobori Zaru", and the New Year's postcard prize is "Small Sheet". Was allocated.
