Italian postal service company, Poste Italiane, has introduced the first collectible box set that combines traditional stamps with digital twins based on non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and blockchain technology. The box set, called "posta prioritaria Collezione gialla," includes four philatelic folders that showcase the evolution of Priority Mail stamps from 1999 to 2008. Each box set is limited to 400 numbered copies and includes a unique QR code that can be redeemed for a digital twin NFT. The NFTs provide a secure and unique identification of the digital content, ensuring authenticity and ownership. The integration of NFTs and blockchain technology aims to attract new generations of collectors while blending the charm of traditional stamp collecting with the opportunities of the digital future. The box sets are available for purchase at Post Offices, Philately Spaces, and online, offering new avenues for distribution.
