About UN Stamps
The United Nations has issued stamps since 1951 for use at UN headquarters in New York, Geneva, and Vienna. UN stamps feature themes of peace, human rights, and international cooperation. The stamps are denominated in US dollars for New York, Swiss francs for Geneva, and euros for Vienna. UN stamps are collected worldwide as symbols of international cooperation. The UN stamp program raises awareness of global issues through philately. UN stamps cannot be used outside the UN offices.
