... I've been doing a lotta mailing! It's been a while since I've mail anything! So, I was curious to see what other countries pay for like a 1st class letter.

I love the fact that our USPS is so dang cheap and still pretty damn efficient!

"The price of a first-class stamp in the U.S. is vastly lower than postage within other countries. This bar graph is in euros. But the price of a first-class stamp in the cheapest country on the table--the island of Malta--would be about 50 cents U.S., which is more than a 44-cent standard stamp. The 44-cent U.S. stamp is about one-third of the average price charged for postage in Europe."

This bar graph is in euros.
