2006 Definitives (British Postage Stamps)
Four new Machin definitive stamps were released on 28 March 2006. The values are 37p and 44p (which have previously been issued in different colours); and 49p and 72p, which are new values.
Although first and second class first weight postage increased from 30p to 32p and 21p to 23p respectively, these definitives will continue to be represented by the blue and gold NVI stamps.
The basic worldwide rate also increased to 50p but this would be represented by the existing 50p stamp, and the worldwide 40g rate would be represented the existing universal worldwide NVI stamp.
