What costs 32 cents to mail? Post cards are 34 cents, basic letter is 49 cents. Additional ounces aren't 32 cents either. Why make a stamp that can't be used? Unless the idea is to make a profit on the seigniorage - to make somebody use two of them (64 cents worth of postage) to mail a 49 cent letter. Of course stamp collectors also help out by buying stamps and then never using them.
