XXI, also known as the 21st Olympics were held in Montreal Quebec, in 1976. As mentioned previously, there were quite a few stamps issued to commemorate this event. About 36 stamps in all — wow, that is a ton! I am not going to show all of them, but for today we have the $1 and $2 stamps, showcasing local architecture. On the $1 we have Notre Dame church and Place Ville Marie. On the $2 is the actual Olympic stadium, which can accommodate up to 70,000 spectators! The multipurpose Velodrome is next door.
The 8 + 2 stamp was part of an initiative to raise money for the Olympics. The face value being 8 cents with a 2 cent surcharge going to support the games. Pretty interesting huh? Thanks for stopping by.

The 8+2 was a cool concept stamp, great colors too. The Notre Dame one is nice too. Very cool stamps! Are you still acquiring more for the collection as the years go by?
Yes, every now and again. My interest kind of goes in waives. I make purchases only a few times a year.
The stamp looks cool, the architectural design inside is very distinctive. beautiful and of course full of stories.
There are more to the Olympics than just the sporting events. Thanks for looking.
36 stamps is a lot, I remember you shared some of them a while ago from this 1976 trade.
I think I will do one more final post on the Olympics and then call it a day.
The first and second one are good, showing important places... The last one looks like a hand doing🖕 🤣🤣 not sure if anyone else has the same feeling
