This won't be the first time.  There were holographic foil stamps 
issued in 1989.  I have one in front of me, which depicts a radial 
space station with a docked space shuttle.  

Perhaps "stamp" is the wrong word.  A one-inch square hole was die-cut 
from a business-sized envelope, and the foil image was glued in from 
behind.  "USA 29" is printed in green next to the hologram in 
"futuristic" digital lettering.

After eleven years, the colors are still vibrant.  The 3D effect is 
subtle, but nice.  I look forward to the new holographic stamps.
