Stamp Announcement 24-16: $1 Floral Geometry Stamp

© 2023 USPS

On April 26, 2024, in Burlingame, CA, the United States Postal Service^® will issue the $1 Floral Geometry definitive stamp in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 10 stamps (Item 121800). This stamp will go on sale nationwide April 26, 2024, and must not be sold or canceled before the first-day-of-issue.

In 2024, a new Floral Geometry stamp denominated at $1 will be available for purchase, complementing the similarly designed $2 and $5 stamps issued in 2022, and the $10 stamp issued in 2023. The stamp art features a series of overlapping geometric shapes that mimic the symmetry of floral patterns found in nature. As the stamp denominations rise ($1 to $10), the designs become more complex. The watercolor backgrounds and foil-stamped designs and typography create a sophisticated look. The stamps were designed and created by the firm Spaeth Hill. Antonio Alcalá was the art director.

Availability to Post Offices: Item 121800, $1 Floral Geometry Pane of 10 Stamps
