Philately

The process of collecting stamps is referred to as "Philately".Many people collect stamps as it is one of the most interesting hobbies in this world.We have very "old" stamps which have a high value today.People also exchange their doubles .If they have two stamps of the same type they exchange it and get a stamp that they don't have so far.
Stamp collecting enables one to learn the culture of various countries.It also enables one to learn the natural resources -animals and trees.Thus it is a very useful hobby.
