  Postage stamp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Usually a small paper rectangle that is attached to an envelope, the postage stamp signifies that the person sending the letter or package may have either fully, or perhaps partly, pre-paid for delivery.
Later, the concept of the adhesive postage stamp was published by Rowland Hill, in Postal Reform: its Importance and Practibility in 1837.
Postage stamps are sometimes issued in souvenir sheets containing just one or a small number of stamps.

 History and Types of Postage Stamps
Automatenmarken, stamps issued in the denomination of the customer's choice by a kind of machine (similar to computer-vended postage) are also referred to by the acronym ATM, which has created some confusion.
They are used by postal authorities on sample mail to test various sorting and cancelling machines or machines that can detect the absence or presence of a stamp on an envelope.
The amount of ink used is also the same as actual postage stamps, so that they can be used to test the machines with material as close as possible to the actual postage stamps.

For instance, ATM stamps have been sold at automatic teller machines (ATMs), although the may be sold via stamp catalogues of the postal service or possibly at philatelic windows.
In addition the amount of ink used on the paper was the same as was used to produce the actual postage stamps, thus they could test the machines with, (as near as possible), the stamps that would be used in general use.
