Faroe Island 2008 arrived

The FDCs I ordered just arrived several days ago, looks beautiful.

DK new 'machine'

On 7th Nov. Denmark issued unique franking label for stamp fair on Fredereicia 2008. This time, it used new 'machine'. Check below image,
We can the font is different from ATM from post office(Bridge serials), it is smaller. At the traditional bridges from Philately Service, it is more higher than from post office.

After compare the issue from Faroe Island, it is same likely.

Traditional serial number of DK ATM have no 'lower case letter', but the Frederecia issue has, and on the last bit of serial number, traditional ATM is 0..9 and A..Z, but the Frederecia issue has 'a..z' include above.

So conclusion are

1) Frederecia issue involve lower case letter on serial number

2) Fredereica issue introduce 'a..z' on last bit of serial number

3) Fredereica issue have new font than old issues

After inqurie Philately Service of DK, they would not install 'Bridge II' rolls on the new machine before the Frederecia label phase out.

Fredereicia 2008

Denmark issued special franking label for Stamp Fair '08 on Frederecia 7th Nov. The stamp fair will run from 7th to 9th Nov.
The franking labels are different from usual machine from Philately Service. Thus it was available from the fair and philately service only.

FAROE ISLAND - poster

Just got the poster from Faroe Island philately service, most of it focused on new franking labels. It is the first time to issue that, like Denmark, it released 4 motifs on the aCon.
From now on, it will also issue new ATM every year.

If you can visit the machine, the minimum value is 0,50 DKK and maximum is 100. But we can get 6,00 value only if from philately service.

Like UK, it was called 'Post 'n' Go'.

Unfortunately the issued day was changed from 6th Oct. to 9th Oct., and location from Gota to Torshavn.

On the same day(9th), the tarif was updated also.

Czech 2008

on 13th Sep. Czech Rep. issued its new ATM, the motif is castle of PRUHONICE, very beautiful.

The seller told me he did not get so much before the dead of the machine, sounds like the machine don't work oftenly.

----------------------------------------

Remarks, the post card is not same to ATM motif, just present from the seller.

Germany 2008

Germany Post issued new ATM on 24th Oct. Like Austria, she used two motifs on the roll, Brandenburg Tor and Bonn Tower.

Another change is the EURO sign was removed, and the value moved to downside.

The imprint is beautiful, that the workers can not wait to install the the new label on two machines before the issue day.

Initiates some of machines still use the old label, even its programme was updated to new version.

Above FDCs were from Berlin and Bonn, the first day receipt was from Bonn.
