For the first time ever, Ireland and Spain will jointly issue two new stamps, which feature dancing. According to some reports the exact release date is November 8; the official Spanish postal site’s PDF of their 2008 catalog says November 7.
The two stamps will feature flamenco and Irish dance. The flamenco stamp will have a face value of €0,60 (60 eurocents) while the Irish dance will be €0.78. They will be sold in blocks of two; a total of 500,000 sheets will be printed.
(Note: We looked all over for some scans or early pictures but they don’t seem to exist yet on either the AnPost site or Correos, nor on any of the scant news pages about this unusual issue.)
