Why aren more hologram stamps issued?
A. Expense. Holograms are expensive to produce compared to printing a sheet of stamps with out hologramson them. Stamps with holograms are popular, but when a postal service is trying to milk as much profit as it can from collectors why issue a hologram stamp that will eat into profits, when a regular stamp will make much more. Environmental groups have also expressed concern. When paper is recycled, the foil that holograms are printed on can’t be recycled and has to be separated from the rest of the paper. This extra step costs money.
