@Eosynthia In Austria the prices for those stamps are prohibitive too! But sometimes Austrian Post appear at special events and then you can have those stamps made at a (more) reasonable cost. So I have some stamps with my picture and only ever send them to my mother or really good friends!

I was very surprised to learn this as well. It does seem to be a small issuing year and Canada Post seems to have run out of design ideas for Chinese New Year stamps. The fact that last year was essentially a āre-issueā of previous designs made me wonder if they were planning to opt out for 2022. It does seem odd as I always felt they were popular and most times, quite pretty as well. Itās weird to āconcludeā something like this when the new year celebration happens annually. Most postal administrations seem to issue these as well. Very strange decision by Canada Post.

Yeah thatā true, and I always feel like they barely have any stamp featuring whatās happening in the world like 2020 Tokyo Olympic Game or 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Game or frontline healthcare workers theme, as Iāve seen a lot of those stamps from other countries. And now Canada Post just announced they are done with a two-decade-lasting series?? Thatās nothing but bizarre and confusing to meā¦
Oh this is too bad, and explains why I havenāt seen any lunar New Years stamps. Iām really surprised that Canada Post isnāt issuing one this year, especially since we have a large Chinese population in Canada (my spouse is Chinese). I share your disappointment for sure.

Oh what a shame!
Funny that they ended with the āYear of the Ratā which happens to be the first Animal in the Zodiac.
