The program kicks off on January 12 with a pane of 10 stamps celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Journal of the United Nations, priced at $1.70 and available at the U.N. headquarters in New York City. Collectors should also note the special issuance on January 16, commemorating the Year of the Horse during the Sarasota National Stamp Exhibition, also at $1.70.
Continuing throughout the year, several notable stamp issues include commemorations for the International Day of Forests on March 20, and the long-standing Endangered Species series on April 24.
