Personalised stamps from the Royal Mail

[livejournal.com profile] codepope (and originally [livejournal.com profile] abiw) just pointed out the new personalised stamp service from the Royal Mail. Just upload a digital image, and for £14.95 you'll get a book of stamps back containing your image.

It's not quite as good an idea as it seems - you need to pair it with one of their "Smilers" range, but it's a start...

Well, it's close to printing money. Stamps have value and need to be validatable...

The fact that they have the on demand technology to print a fraud protected stamp with an adhoc image is impressive, and opens up all sorts of possibilities, including if you think further... personalised money.
