Default Euro Zone - pre Euro era stamps valid for postage?

Thank You for the information, Victor.

Would anyone particularly know
about the stamps of Germany and Austria?

Blair


After july the 1. 2002, the stamps of Germany (DM) and Austria
(Schilling) were not valid any more.
In Germany exchange into Euro-stamps at a post office was possible up to
the end of September.

In Austria, the exchange at post offices stopped at July the 1.-
afterwards the exchange was only possible at the General Post-office -
but you had to pay a fee.

by the way - GB is not part of the Euro-zone. Stamps are still valid,
since decimal.
