SIERRA LEONE
Sierra Leone issued the first self adhesive stamp in 1964. They were in the shape of a map of the country. Three months later they issued the second set. Another five years passed until another country issued a self adhesive stamp. This was Tonga in 1969 and it was in the shape of a banana.

QUESTION 29

In 1996, NZ Post issued a Health stamp promoting road safety. However a VERY major mistake in the stamp picture led to the cancellation and re-design of the stamp. What was wrong with the original picture?

THE BABY CAPSULE WAS FACING THE WRONG WAY
The Teddy Bear was deleted for the re-issue of the stamp. However, a few hundred copies were sold to the public before the error was discovered.

QUESTION 30

The motto "Damus Petimus Que Vicissim" appears on one of the world's most famous stamps. What does it mean?
