"Incomplete" postcards, and how these are treated officially

Stamps with a globe symbol are for international posting and are worth 1.90€ and stamps with a map of Finland on them are for domestic posting, their value is 1.80€. There is also a snowflake symbol (special Christmas rate).

@S_Tuulia

The one with Finnish symbol is also enough for international mail in economy class, or part of priority postage, when you have to add 0,10 € stamp.

(The prices now are 1,85 € in Finland and 1,95 € international)

@S_Tuulia already corrected the current values.

I just wanted to add that in addition to these three symbols, the old numeric “1” and “2” which mean “1st class” and “2nd class” are treated like the map symbol, so they have the same value as current domestic stamp. (There is no domestic economy class anymore, so those “2nd class” stamps are equal to “1st class” stamps.)

One interesting thing to know is:in Euro countries, are the “old coin” stamps still valid? For example here in Italy the stamps in Lira are still valid, you just need to make the conversion and arrive at the same amount in Euro. (Need many stamps to do that!) But only stamps made after 1967 are still valid

Same in Belgium. But there are rumours that this will change and only stamps in euro can then be used , as long as you get to the correct amount.
