Farewell to Letters: Denmark's Last-Day Cover

Denmark's postal service, PostNord, is commemorating the end of letter deliveries with a unique last-day cover available for international collectors. This special cover, cancelled by PostNord, features a replica of one of Denmark’s original 1851 stamps, creating a symbolic connection to the country’s postal heritage as it transitions away from traditional letter services.

Collectors can order this last-day cover, which includes a handwritten address to be located outside Denmark. Orders can be submitted via email to contact@nordfrim.com or by phone. Each customer is limited to one cover per transaction, with multiple transactions permitted. This offering stands as a novel piece for stamp enthusiasts, marking an important moment in postal history.

The discontinuation of traditional letter deliveries, effective December 31, highlights the evolving landscape of postal services in Denmark, concluding an era that once emphasized universal mail delivery. This last-day cover not only serves as a collector's item but also as a poignant reminder of a significant transition in how communication will be handled in the future.
