STAR TREK GETS RETRO POSTAGE STAMPS FOR ITS 50TH BIRTHDAY

It's great that the USPS is acknowledging such a monumental and significant milestone with this small series of stamps.
But none of them actually say Star Trek on them. Apparently they were limited in their options as you'll read in the article.

 I am surprised CBS/Paramount allowed then to use the Enterprise silhouette.

In Canada, we not only had stamps but coins minted as well.

 Unfortunately, those 7 are all sold out ... put Star Trek into the upper right search bar ...
