The plates from the 1902 issue were showing signs of wear and were replaced in 1939 by a new issue of different coloured stamps. Collectors were allowed to use the stamps for ordinary postage on the first day of issue.

From September 1951 ordinary postage stamps were used for the collection of postage due, and special stamp issues for postage due were abandoned.
