Great Britain Postage Stamps
A postage stamp is really only a receipt to prove that a person has paid the correct amount of money for the letter or parcel to be delivered to the specified address.
These 'receipts' led to the hobby of stamp collecting. Postage stamps in various forms have been printed since the first stamps in 1840. Since then people have collected stamps as a hobby or a business. Collecting postage stamps is called philately.
