do you know if stamps are legal tender? i found loads of stamps i bought but they are 48cent stamps, was wondering if i could bring them back and get my money back as cash would have been paid for them....
The post-office where you bought them will not cash them for you - not allowed. Have you use for them at all? They can be used on any letters and the price made up e.g. buy 7c stamps and use one of each on 55c letters.
Really? I always thought they were legal tender. Aren't they legal tender in the UK, where anything with the queens head is legal tender, and it is an offence to destroy (urban myth alert maybe?)

Now I remember, I heard they were legal tender in an episode of "The Office" David Brent said so . Sorry Mathepac, for putting you through all that googling.
At one stage you could exchange mint condition postage stamps for cash at An Post, but it needed to be for a substantal amount and then they charged you a hefty admin fee. This is essentially to minimise potential fraud and time-wasters. This certainly used to be the case in the past, although with the recent changes in An Post structure I am not sure whether it exists.
