       Hello,

       and thank you for your message.

       You asked if stamps in Finnish marks are still valid for postage.

       All markka-denominated stamps published in Finland in and after year 1963
       may be used for the payment of postage fees until 31.12.2011. They can be
       used alone or with euro-denominated stamps, so that the needed rate will
       be filled.

       Kind regards,
