[edit] Confusing statement

The article states "The stamps were printed in sheets of 240 (20 rows of 12 stamps), so one row cost 1 shilling and a complete sheet one pound. This situation continued with all postage stamps issued until 1971 when decimal currency was introduced and the sheet size was changed to 200, (20 rows of 10 stamps) making the lowest value denomination, (half pence), one pound per sheet. -- This can't be correct; British stamps were printed in a variety of values (including ₤1), shapes (rectangle, square); and sizes. They can't all have been printed in sheets of 240 (or 200) and certainly did not total ₤1). Ecphora (talk) 10:53, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
