About these puzzles:

For the postage stamps, I use the original stamps and mount them onto the plywood.  I then cut out the stamp, including the perforations when possible.  Some stamps that are from sheets have perforations that are ragged or torn.  When I come across these, I simply make up my own border, using a scalloped or wavy edge pattern.

For currency, if it is a current legally traded note in circulation or an antique, I will make a copy, mount it onto the plywood and cut it into pieces.  I will not deface or destroy the original.  In the case of old foreign currency presently not in circulation, I will use the original only if provided by the customer.

The smaller stamp puzzles come packaged in a hinged mini mint tin.  Larger stamp puzzles come packaged in a larger hinged tin.  Currency puzzles come packaged in a small cardboard box.
