Diner Stamp
To meet the needs for time-saving, easy to use mailing tools, USPS issued
two kinds of coil stamps: Wetlands Nonprofit Org. stamp and Diner Presorted
First Class stamp on June 5, 1998.
And on September 30, a new vision of self-adhesive coil of 10,000 was
issued.
The Diner stamp is the third in the American Culture series. The Jukebox
and Tail Fins were the first two in the American Culture series.
