Postage stamps and postal history of North Korea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Postage stamps are issued by the Korea Stamp Corporation.[1] North Korea issues copious amounts of stamps.[2] Since the 1970s, the country has outproduced South Korea in terms of issuance.[3] The stamps tend to portray patriotic and nationalist themes and are used as a form of propaganda,[4] but some of them have little connection with the country.[2] The country has been a member of the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie since 15 June 1965. There is a museum, the Korea Stamp Museum, dedicated to philately in the country.[1]
