These are conveniently concertina-folded into the size panel you see in the article. They are aimed at small businesses who use stamps rather than franking machines/meters. Business sheets are supplied by Royal Mail Direct at Edinburgh but are also sold by many post offices.<br /><br />Before decimalisation, stamps sold at post office counters (hence the name) had 240 to a sheet. After decimalisation this changed to 200 which made (ac)counting easy. The self-adhesive counter sheets are only 25 (5x5) and are much easier for counters to handle, as they need no folding.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-60650525145655502722012-03-21T18:56:30.681+00:002012-03-21T18:56:30.681+00:00Could you give some help to a Machins newbie colle...Could you give some help to a Machins newbie collector in the US?<br /><br />Business sheets have 50 stamps.<br /><br />How many stamps in a counter sheet, and why are they called "counter"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-41600046288581186602012-03-21T15:16:02.789+00:002012-03-21T15:16:02.789+00:00£129?
