Vending machine brand

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
first machine brand of the German Federal Post Office for 10 Pfennig . Issued January 2, 1981–31. March 1994
Machine brand issued between 2002 and 2008 in Germany. Here with a special cancellation from the Museum for Communication in Frankfurt am Main

A machine stamp (abbreviation: ATM ) is a postage stamp that is sold to postal customers via a postage stamp machine. According to the resolution of the Universal Postal Union in Hamburg in 1984, postage stamps are printed out from electronically controlled (coin) stamps .

As a rule, after payment (by inserting coins or banknotes , chip cards, etc.) , the postal customer receives a stamp printed directly on ( security ) paper in the device , which corresponds to the usual postage stamps in all functional parts (value and country, postal authority symbols, etc.) .

The stamp booklets, which were also sold via machines, can be counted as predecessors . The disadvantage with these, however, was that you couldn't buy a special stamp, but had to purchase a whole contingent of stamps.
