    You'd need a lot of those coins to pay today's postage.

    Coins and currency are rarely seen on stamps, as far as I know. So it is an interesting stamp! I like the way they pictured the currency, and does - in the right bottom corner, the red one - also a postage stamp show up?! :-)

    I left Norway in 1989 and miss seeing their stamps regularly, so havn't seen this stamp or the others depicted.

    nice contrast between the value pin the coin and on the stamp.
