Appreciation of Printing: Stamps, an Inherited Love

Believe it or not, stamps and technology have a place in the same sentence.

Foreign countries have been using Quick Response (QR) codes or variations of them for nearly four years on their postage stamps in an effort to provide collectors with an added tinge of fun, excitement and technology. According to Linn's Stamp News, the country of Liberia recently released a pane of stamps on the subject of chocolate. Not only are the stamps chocolate brown in color, they also smell of cocoa. The pane includes a QR code that takes readers to a document on how chocolate is made.
