Travel the World of Postage Stamps - 200 Years of Aviation - Royal-Vauxhall - Mongolia 1982 - Michel Mongolia 1524 - my hobby.
Greetings friends!
Sometimes, people wonder what the economic benefit of collecting postage stamps is ... it's an interesting question.
Yes, I must agree that in my life, I do not remember the sharp jumps in the prices of postage stamps, but it is possible that one day there will be a flight to the moon, as you understand, I am talking about the price of these financial documents, called postage stamps. ... Nobody canceled the historical value.
Now, let's look at the cost of postage stamps on the other hand, they, or investments in postage stamps, allow you to smoothly go through financial reforms and crises.
The one who kept the money in the national currency. for example, the Moldovan Leu, or the Ukrainian Hryvnia, lost most of their savings, but the one who owned the postage stamps did not lose anything, their price, as it was tied to the Pound Sterling, or to the US dollars, remained.
It is impossible to exclude the option of cheap purchase and expensive sale of stamps, which is called speculation in the market, in case of successful transactions, the profit will be obvious.
And one moment.
I have a lot of encyclopedic reference books, and, to some extent, postage stamps are.
I do not ask myself how much an encyclopedic reference book costs, he is my assistant so that I could learn something new, and this. moral and mental gain, lol.
For example, Postage Stamp Series 200 Years of Aviation, issued in 1982 in Mongolia, allows me to learn more about aeronautics, the inventors of balloons, and how to lift them into the air.
On the next postage stamp, with a face value of 40 Mongolian möngö, we see a balloon - Royal-Vauxhall.
As indicated by the inscription on the postage stamp, this balloon was launched into the air in 1836.
Its inventor was Charles Green, who flew 770 kilometers on it in one night from Vauxhall to Weilburg. Simply put, he got from England to Germany in one night, at a time when such travels by land could last for many days.
It is not entirely correct to speak of this aircraft as a balloon, the fact is that Charles Grit did not use hot air or hydrogen, as his predecessors did, he used coal gas.
Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
