Interesting about a stamp...
Elvis Presley postage stamps are the most widely publicized stamp issued in the history of the United States Postal Service and it is the top selling commemorative postage stamp of all time. The Elvis postage stamps were released by the U.S. Postal Service on January 8, 1993. The USPS printed 500 million of them, three times the usual print run for a commemorative stamp. About 124.1 million of the 1993 Elvis Presley stamps were saved by Americans, according to the post office, which does an annual survey of 10,000 households to determine which stamps are most popular.

May 23rd was made for mouth-watering deliciousness. It’s National Taffy Day! Taffy candy has been made and sold for many years and has become a favorite souvenir of many vacationers.
Salt water taffy in was invented 1883 in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
This confection is made with boiled sugar and butter that is stretched and pulled until it is a chewy consistency that can be rolled and cut. The flavors range from buttery to tart to sweet. There is something for everyone. Taffy’s colorful displays have tantalized children and adults alike for generations. And, since today is also Lucky Penny Day, it was also one of the penny candies that once could be bought for a cent.
So..................
National Lucky Penny Day is observed each year on May 23rd..
See a penny, pick it up… All day long you’ll have good luck.When you are out and about, look on the ground for pennies. It just might be your lucky day!
Years ago a penny was able to buy something. (Check out National Taffy Day – to see what we used to get for a penny.) Today, due to inflation, the penny does not buy much of anything. The metal value and cost of minting pennies exceed their face value. Many nations have stopped minting equivalent value coins and efforts are being made to end the routine use of pennies in several countries including the United States.
1793 – The first pennies in the United States were made of copper.
