Anyone who follows news about stamps or is an avid stamp collector might be interested in learning about recent news to make the Guinness World Record.  The highest number of stamps ever used on a parcel has been recorded.  Manoj Kumar Mondal from West Bengal’s Nadia district in India sent a parcel to his London office, using a record 3809 postage stamps.  The breakdown of stamps was as follows: one of 10 paise; 86 of 15 paise, 3649 stamps of 25 paise and 73 of Rs 10. Mondal broke the previous record which came from Australian Les Stewart, who used 3,400 stamps on sending a parcel in 1999.
