1952 DIAMOND HEAD, HAWAII SCOTT #C-46

  To help the state out, the Post Office printed this 80 cent stamp. Hawaii was greatly dependent on imports, and this new stamp allowed tourist to mail orchids back to the mainland, creating a big export business. This was a big boost to an economy that was greatly dependent on imports.
  Little known fact----Andorra and Greenland are the only countries in the world that have supplied free postage to their citizens. Free delivery is still available on all domestic mail in Andorra.
