US Stamp Features Wrong Statue of Liberty

Wrong Lady Liberty

The United States Postal Service printed up 3 billion new stamps featuring a closeup of the Statue of Liberty's face. A stamp collector recognized it's not the real Statue of Liberty on the stamps but a replica of the statue in Las Vegas that's in front of a hotel.

The USPS says they're sorry, but they have already printed 3 billion of the stamps and they're going to continue to sell them.

The Real Deal

The placement of "FOREVER" for the price of the stamp also makes the stamp seem kind of arrogant. (The Forever stamps do not have a set face value, they sell at the current first class stamp price but can be used forever, no matter what price first class postage is in the future, hence the name). Forever is crossed out in the photo so people can't print the photo and use it as a stamp, it's not crossed out on the actual stamps. USA FIRST CLASS FOREVER. Classy.
