Thank you for sharing pictures of the new 2024 Slovenian stamps. What I really like from Slovenian stamps except their high aesthetic value is how well organized is the annual program. I am really looking forward to the three Famous Persons stamps. I am a great fan of this theme and Slovenia is doing it great.
Although beautiful, some Slovenian stamps do indeed have slightly too high value to be useful in postcard exchange (unless swapping them really a lot in envelope) … or their values are unpractical and require several additional stamps, meaning less available space for writing.
Buying lower valued stamps can also be complicated - not because they would not exists, but because only bigger post offices have them.
Some post office personnel is also not keen on requests for commemorative stamps (bigger and more colorful), but they prefer to sell smaller, self-adhesive definitive stamps.

The USPS has lovely high-value stamps for priority mail … definitely not for letter and postcard writing. These two are being released soon:
A bit of an aside - In 2022 these were released that I loved. I was fortunate enough to receive the Monument Valley stamp in a package (non-postcrossing related)

Turns out this new stamp was only announced 18th, when first day of the Palestine stamp being publically for sale. I completely missed the stamps because I didn’t expect new stamps in 2 days but I myself will go soon to see if they still have any stock left.
