Good idea. there is also this way charities can cash in on stamps – I didn’t realise it was done by weight though: “Stamps are sold by weight, meaning that many charities can turn old ones into funds to help their ongoing work.

Fortunately Save the Children still accept one-off donations in cash.

Save the Children is a leading humanitarian organization for children. We’ve changed the lives of over 1 billion children in the U.S. and around the world.
