Anyone still possessing ‘Lm’ only denominated stamps, only has until the 31st of March to exchange them for equivalent dual currency (€/Lm) denominated stamps. MaltaPost announced the withdrawal from circulation of Lm - denominated stamps (i.e. those stamps denominated in just Lm) earlier this year. With effect from the 1st of February 2008 only dual-denominated (€/Lm) stamps are to be used for postage purposes.
Application Forms for the exchange of stamps may be collected from all MaltaPost outlets. The forms may be deposited at any MaltaPost outlet or forwarded by registered mail to the Stamp Exchange Board, MaltaPost p.l.c., 305, Triq Hal-Qormi, Marsa MTP 1001.
All applications will be duly acknowledged. Duly completed Application Forms must reach MaltaPost by not later than the 31st of March 2008. An appointment will be arranged in due course for the exchange of stamps at MaltaPost Head Office or in a MaltaPost outlet.
MaltaPost also announced the following conditions:
* Only mint stamps denominated in just ‘Lm’ currency and issued after 1st January 1998 will be accepted for exchange purposes.
* Postage stamps bearing dual denominations (Lm / €) will not be accepted for exchange as these remain valid for postage.
* The surcharge applied to Christmas Issue stamps will not be taken into consideration and only the basic denomination will be exchanged.
* Exchange of stamps does not apply in respect of stamps printed or sold that they be used only for purposes of philately.
