During 2004 there were four stamp issues that were a bit different to NZ Post's usual issues. Since these are often not included in many catalogues and therefore many collections, we thought it might be an idea to group them together on this one page.
$4.40 Tourist Booklet.
If you had ever needed stamps of more than one denomination, then the $4.40 stamp booklet could have been your answer.
New Zealand Post issued a self-adhesive stamp booklet that was comprised of ten 40c Tory Channel and four 10c Champaign Pool stamps. Both had first been issued in 1996. The reissued stamps allowed you to create a combination of common postage rates.
