Talk about screw ups. The Statue of Liberty pictured on a new U.S. stamp is not the neoclassical icon on Liberty Island in New York Harbor but the replica at the New York New York Casino and Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Government run, what do you except? Question, HOW much did this "artist" get from U.S. to design this stamp?
bet he/she lives in Ca. and LAs Vegas is a lot closer than NY, so we got charged for a trip to NY, when he/she only went to Vegas.

Personally I find this pretty funny and possibly appropriate. Now the immigrant dream isn't just getting to Ellis Island, it is striking it rich, possibly in Vegas.

Side Note: Anyone noticed at New York New York, they never had their versions of the World Trade Centers. Interesting that they choose to leave out these buildings long before 9/11.

Well the part of the story that interested me was that the officials didn't think it was a big deal.

Does that mean these stamps will be worth more than the paper they're printed on? Like the upside down plane stamp?

Hang on to those stamps-errors like these are often valuable to collectors.

Sorry can't agree, ONLY to stike it rich in any casino, is to own it or be a Native American.

The USPS printed 40 million of them. If you pay more than face value, you're getting ripped off.
