And those of us who collect PNG First
Day Covers and mint stamps might be sitting on a fortune.

errors on recent PNG stamp issue
List members concerned with bird matters in our
northern neighbour PNG may be interested in the news that a recent PNG stamp
issue seems to have used the wrong image of a Harpy Eagle (using that of an
American rather than the NG species), and the wrong name for the Osprey. The
errors were pointed out by a keen-eyed young PNG graduate student studying in the
USA.
