Lady Liberty? Or Lady Luck? ... This Face From Las Vegas Leaves The Post Office Stuck

The Statue of Liberty stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Service turns out to be slightly flawed… It’s not an image of the actual Statue of Liberty in New York, but rather of the Statue of Liberty replica, from the “New York New York” Casino Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The photograph was apparently chosen from a photography service, and even though the statue featured is not the real thing, Roy Betts, spokesperson for the USPS said they love the stamp’s design and would have chosen that photograph anyway (likely excuse).  They are now looking to make sure the same mistake doesn’t happen in the future.

I guess Lady Liberty just got booted in a popularity contest by her newer, younger, better replica… Lady Luck
