A North Korea watcher just sent me some recent North Korean stamps that I thought I would share.

World Wildlife Foundation (Birds): The WWF is probably not receiving any donations from the use of their logo on these stamps…

Pyongyang Standard Time: In August 2015, North Korea created it’s own time zone.

North Korean currency: In 2009 the DPRK renominated the currency. Between then and 2012, the value of the currency relative to the US$ fell from 100KPW to nearly 9,000 in January 2013. They currency has remained stable at about 8,000KPW/1US$ since then.
