Royal Mail will soon introduce a massive change to the way we pay for our postage.
By early next year, traditional stamps - which have been used for over five decades - will become invalid and effectively worthless. Despite this, there's no need to panic as your old stamps can be traded for new ones before the deadline hits.
By January 31, 2023, stamps will come equipped with a barcode and will continue to display the visage of Queen Elizabeth II for now. While the old stamps will become invalid by next year, shops and Post Offices should already be selling the brand-new stamps, ensuring that customers have plenty of time to adjust, the Mirror reports.
