The stamp was released to the general public the following day, on Friday, May 18. Interest was high throughout the United States, and some post office stations clearly did not order enough the first time, as many people complained about not being able to get any (no doubt because collectors snapped up literally thousands!). The stamp's first printing was 125 million.

- Postage stamps were introduced by the British Post Office in 1840, thus inaugurating the era of snail mail. Because snails tend to be anti-social and do not have fixed addresses, early attempts were complete failures. In technical terms, postage stamps are printed on small scraps of paper that are affixed to envelopes through the use of lickable adhesives, an idea shamelessly stolen from the Christmas and Easter Seals campaigns. Mint postage stamps have adhesive backs that come in a variety of innovative mint flavours including chocolate mint, the Royal Mint, bitter mint, and the Denver Mint.
