It will only retain their value as long as we have a postal system. If technology makes the USPS obsolete, you will have some pretty collector’s items, that’s about it.

So, my friend, are so right! Thinking along those same lines ('the poor man's gold) last year, with part of my income tax refund, I bought something like $200 worth of Forever Stamps. The long and the short of it is: What with email, on line bill paying, etc. etc. I'm glad these Forever stamps are good forever... 'cause that's about how long they're going to take to use.
