vending machines located at GPOs (except<br />

capital city GPOs dispense <strong>stamp</strong>s which<br />
show the relevant postcode. All other<br />
machines dispense <strong>stamp</strong>s with a number<br />
identifying each vending machine.<br />
These numbers were introduced as a<br />
security measure.<br />
