for the post A Halton Hills resident was ob viously using his or her head when recently posting a letter to the Town Civic Centre Instead of the normal cent stamp postage the letter which was mailed from Acton and ar rived at the Civic Centre Jan 25 had on it a cent and a penny The penny was secured to the envelope by a piece of pink tape Town Bylaw Enforcement and Licencing Officer Bob brought the letter to the attention of the Herald saying not only was he surprised that the penny made it through the postal delivery system but it did so even though the penny was an American one cent piece After several telephone calls to various Canada Post officials the Herald discovered this type of postage is neither common nor supported by the crown corpora tion This Is very unusual and definitely an exception said Canada Post spokesperson Joyce Wells Ms Wells went on to say its not a recommended practice and the sorting machines are not prepared to handle coins as Asked how the letter passed through the system Ms Wells chalked up the happening to human oversight Ms Wells said she was surpris ed they penny didnt fall off the envelope or cause damage to the machine something she stressed
