As to stamps see here from ~6 months ago: > [@Postage Stamps: Another Relic of a Bygone Era](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/postage-stamps-another-relic-of-a-bygone-era/1017773): > > Today I chose to mail a letter. I’d gotten a bill from a doc via snail mail, and they don’t have an online payment facility. So I wrote my CC info on the return chit, stuffed it into their provided return envelope, and went to my little stash of postage stamps. In there was a sheet of 10 first class forever stamps. With one remaining. I had written down the date I used the first stamp off the sheet: Apr 16 2022. Now, here on May 1 2025 I used the last of the 10. So 3 years and two weeks, 158… By amazing coincidence I mailed 2 snail mails today. Used 2 of my small batch of 2016 XMas stamps. Not that my mail is Xmas themed; just that those are the only first class stamps I own. In another 5-10 years that small sheet will be used up. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-end-of-postal-letters/1025362)._
