So proud to be a New Zealander

Only in New Zealand. And only at NZ Post.

The royal wedding stamp packs went on sale this week, although not without a hitch - of the wrong kind.
 The specially printed Royal Wedding Presentation Pack features an error in it's text: Prince William's birthday has been mis-printed.
The birthday of a future-monarch is not something that is easily kept from public knowledge, so it is well known that the Wills was brought into this world on 21st June 1982. However, in the package, retailing through NZ Post for $19.90, the Prince's birthday is stated as "21 May 1982".
It is believed 4,000 of the special packs featuring the error have been produced.

These could one day be collectors items.
