On January 20, 2001 in Oakland CA., the USPS issued the ninth stamp in its Lunar New Year Series celebrating the Year of the Snake. A "snake year" is thought to be lucky. Called the "little dragon," the snake is a symbol of good fortune. Those born in the Year of the Snake are said to be wise, decisive, attractive, and charming.
These are real USPS postage stamps that are accepted by the USA Postal Service as payment for mail posted in the USA however the total rates on the stamps posted must equal or exceed the current appropriate postal mailing rate or extra postage must be paid.
