Bhutan Post will be introducing its first CD-ROM stamp series this year to commemorate the historic events of 2008. Dubbed the world's first CD-ROM postage stamp with video footage, the series is being developed by Creative Products International, a US company. It will be a visual commemoration of some of Bhutan's historic events - celebrating 100 years of monarchy, coronation of His Majesty the fifth Druk Gyalpo, Bhutan’s transition to democracy and the country’s constitution. Bhutan began its postal program with the release of its first international postage stamps in 1960s. The stamps were released in partnership with an American entrepreneur Burt Kerr Todd. His daughter Francis Todd Stewart is helping producing the two sets of CD-ROM postage stamps. Bhutan's postage stamps are world-renowned and valued as rare collectibles in the philatelic community. The CD-ROM series is due for release in spring of 2008. It will sell for Nu. 225.
