Stamped paper

Stamped paper is an often-foolscap piece of paper which bears an imprinted revenue stamp.^[1]^[2] Stamped papers are not a form of postal stationery as although they may contain writing, they are not designed to be used to convey a message.

The use of stamped paper in the American colonies was so unpopular that it has been credited with sowing the seeds of the American Revolution.
