New Year Greeting stamp Showa42 Issued on December 10, 1966
The 1967 New Year stamp was issued on December 10, 1966 (Showa 41). In this year as well, new year's postcards without donations of 7 yen (650 million) and postcards with a face value of 7 yen + donations of 1 yen (650 million) were issued. 100 million stamps (1/13 Against postcards) were issued for New Year's stamps. This year, as in the previous year, the ratio of New Year stamps has increased significantly in the issuance of New Year stamps and New Year stamps. The reason is the same as the previous year, the profit from issuing New Year stamps (held unused due to the stamp boom at this time) is larger than the profit from postcards with donations (if the postcards are left over, they can be exchanged for ordinary postcards). It is probable that it was judged that. (The number of issues has tripled from 35 million in the previous year.) The design is the "sheep" of the Nara one-sword carving toy, and a "small sheet" was distributed as a New Year's postcard sweepstakes.
