As I understand it, the US post office is required by law to have a balanced budget. However, this comes at the price of closed locations and increased stamp prices.
In 1997 Bugs Bunny was the first cartoon character to appear on a USPS stamp .
Stamps in the US can always be used at face value. The post office won't buy them back, they will tell you to use them.
The value of that stamp is 41 cents. Here's the link to the Post Office site for non-denominated Postage: http://pe.usps.gov/text/qsg300/Q604a.htm
Your local US Post Office can tell you that or you can go here: http://postcalc.usps.gov/
When the U.S. Post Office is trying to get a rate hike approved and wants to be prepared with new stamps, then instead of printing the amount of the postage, the Post Office prints a letter to designate the value. The "A" stamp was worth 15 cents. It had a stylized eagle, and the words "US Postage". See the link "What Stamps Are Worth" for other non-denominated stamp values.
Yes, they have some value to collectors. Those issued by the US Post Office cover a wide spectrum of values and worth. Consult a postage stamp catalog of US Stamps and look to the 'Back of the Book' for postal stationary.
