Is a US poatage stamp with a red tulip flower on it considered the full price of sending a lettter?
A U.S. postage stamp featuring a red tulip would only be considered the full price for sending a letter if its value matches or exceeds the current first-class postage rate set by the USPS. As of my last update, the standard rate for a one-ounce letter is $0.66, so the value of the stamp must be confirmed to determine if it covers the full postage. If the stamp's value is less than this rate, additional postage would be required. Always check the current postage rates for accurate information.
