Yes, the Forever stamps are good for as long as you have them! I continue to use ones purchased about a year ago and have had no problems. If you look they don't have any numeric value on them.

What Is First Class Postage?
When you have something that needs to get to another person quickly, you use the postal service to do the job. While an email may be faster, it is hard to send a Christmas present through an email. The technology to print three dimensional items is not yet available. Therefore, the postal service is still the way to go.Get It There With First Class PostageSending something by first class postage means that it will get there within a couple of days. If you want, you can always pay a little bit more to ensure that it gets there overnight or even the same day. Most envelopes that you drop off at the post office will automatically be given the first class mail designation. There is nothing further that you have to do.How Much Does It Cost?A first class stamp will cost somewhere between 44 and 46 cents depending on what type of stamp you are using. Some people are using forever stamps which stay the same price regardless of the price a stamp costs when the postage is sent. Buying these forever stamps can be a great way to save money if you have to mail a lot of items. Recently, the cost of stamps has gone up in small increments every few years.Do I Know If The Mail Was Delivered?Unless you have postage sent as a certified letter, you will never know if the recipient ever got your letter. However, most letters that you send to people using first class postage will reach their destination. It is recommended that you never ship money through the mail. That can easily be stolen before it reaches its destination.First class postage allows you to send mail quickly regardless of where it is going. When an email simply won't do the job, the postal service will allow you to get something to your boss, friend or relative as soon as possible.
