   I suspect the values shown on the stamps are carefully calculated to total $5, as being a "reasonable" price to sell these minisheets for.

I haven't seen any actual postal use, only FDCs (probably CTO, like most modern FDCs.)

Fund-raising was the main function of these sheets, rather than post.  And judging from the many sheets issued, quite successfully!

Some NZ stamp catalogues listed them. And thematic collectors love them!

	and yet more from the delightful and enthusiastic conservation campaigners at Greenpeace: (I have a few spares of some of these and happy to trade.)
