The first stamp issue for 2011 rightly gives us the Year of Rabbit stamps. The set follows the general design theme for this 2nd cycle of the Chinese Zodiac, with 3 stamps - 1st Local NVI, 65c and $1.10. However, the collector's sheet is slightly different from the previously 3 for the Years of Rat, Ox & Tiger. The collector's sheets for those 3 years contain real holographic transitions of the animals of preceding, current and following years, for 2011, the collector's sheet is coated with a UV sensitive layer, which supposedly brings out the tiger in the $5-stamp and the dragon in the $10.00 stamp.
