The Statue of Liberty Forever stamp is a postage stamp issued by United States Post Office on December 1, 2010.[1] It gained notoriety for mistakenly depicting the replica Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World) located at the New York-New York Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip rather than the original Statue of Liberty in New York.[2] The error was identified by Texas-based stock photo agency Sunipix in March 2011.[3][4][5] Ten and a half billion of the error stamps were produced.[1] The mistake is the largest run of an error on a postage stamp.
In 2013, sculptor Robert S. Davidson sued the Postal Service for copyright infringement,[6] and in July 2018 a judge ordered the United States Postal Service to pay Davidson $3.5 million.[7]
