DPRK finds market for stamps in ROK

Who ever would have thought that the North Koreans would find a way to make money off the Dokdo Island controversy.  Entrepreneurship is alive and well in the DPRK?

From the Korea Times:

NK Dokdo Stamp for Sale in S. Korea

A South Korean distributor began receiving orders this week for postage stamps featuring a set of South Korean islets in the East Sea printed by North Korea, in an apparent protest against Japan’s continued claim to the islets, the distributor said Friday.

The South Korean company said it is receiving orders for sets of nine stamps priced at 18,000 won ($19), through its Web site, www.dprkpost.com, until Sept. 2.

The stamps are to be imported by a Hong Kong contractor to the communist state, Ko Sun Film Video Trading Co., Ltd
