Stamps and Coins News

We, here at the Isle of Man Post Office and in particular the Stamps & Coins division, love our beautiful Island. We are constantly trying to share our Manx love and passion and our Island's values with the world. Over the years we have built some very special relationships through Numismatics and Philately and we cherish these lasting friendships.

We are delighted to be teaming up with our friends at the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company to celebrate the beauty of our Island in an Isle of Man stamp issue.

On 7th April 2020 the Isle of Man Post Office celebrates the 250th anniversary of the birth of William Wordsworth, one of Britain’s best-known romantic poets of all time, by releasing a wonderful six stamp collection.
