VIENNA, Austria – California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is getting a birthday gift in his home country: a stamp in his honor.
The Austrian post office announced on its Web site that the $1.25 stamp will be released on the actor-turned-politician's birthday, July 30. Schwarzenegger, who will be 57, was born in the Austrian village of Thal near the southern city of Graz.
The stamp – which shows Schwarzenegger in a suit and tie with the American and Austrian flags in the background – is part of a collectors' series called "Austrians living abroad," the post office said.
