Stamp Sniuggllng llew Wrinkle In Currency Racket

By LESLIE BBODIE Canadian Pres: C... eqsoiulcnl

BYDEY, Austnlig Nov. 21 — (GP) -- Smuggling of valuable stamps from Australia la proving a lucrative business for rscketeors out 0o best the commonwealth cur- rcnc-y control regulations.

Expert smugglers who know their stumps have no difficulty in gel’.- Lllil as much as $6,000 for s parcel

of from 20 to I00.

The size of the stamp mlhl ll my to conﬂu behind a luggage label or in the lining of a m|n' tic and such places.

Sydney stamp dealers declare that the government is being rob- bed of thousands of dollars year ly by a profitable trade in cur- rent lssusa and easily procunble issues of recent. years.

Best. stamp for the smuggler ls the five shilling (B0 cent) Kanga- rco of 1914-15. They are purchas- ed without much difficulty and are stopped to Britain where they have n value of £4. ($18.) each.

In the hard-w-get catogory the listed price for the i850 Australian one-penny stamp is $448. For the grcylsh blue two-penny stamp of that date the price is $880.

These stamps are more for the mrnoy maﬁera who are prepared to hunt. for them and then make a good clean-up, But for the curiieiiuy dodger who wants to take more than the $800. the present wgulaiions allows him when visit- ing non-sterling areas the best stumps are the unused flvc~shllllng, i0 shilling and £10 ($3.20) varieties in euirent use. These stamps are readily sold at their face value. and as there is nothing to prevent a man from buying as many as he wants he has an easy means at his d-sposal of defeating the rcxuia- tltus and taking as much as he can conceal from the Customs of- ‘Jcials.
