Canada's Non-denominated stamps (and stationery)
Many countries around the world have issued stamps that are non-denominated - that is, no denomination
appears on the stamp.
This is generally done (but not limited to) when new postage rates will soon come into affect but
the post office does not know the exact new rate at the time new stamps need to be printed (it takes
quite some time to approve a design and print millions of stamps and then have these distributed to
all of the post offices throughout the country).
Canada is no different. Here is a listing of the stamps Canada has released that were non-denominated:
