Direct answer: USPS issued 28 ordinary domestic Forever stamp entries or format releases in the 2014 schedule below, including new subjects, reprints, and a second Star-Spangled Banner format release. The year also included a Global Forever issue and other nondenominated products that do not carry the ordinary one-ounce letter-rate value.
This directory follows the USPS 2014 Stamps and Postal Stationery schedule and the final 2014 yearbook list. Dates are first-day-of-issue dates. “Forever” does not mean every item has the same value: ordinary domestic, Global, stamped-card, and semipostal products must be kept separate.

Can 2014 Forever Stamps Still Be Used?
Yes. A genuine, unused ordinary domestic Forever stamp from 2014 retains the current one-ounce First-Class Mail letter-rate value. As of July 12, 2026, that value is 82 cents. A Global Forever stamp follows the current one-ounce First-Class Mail International letter rate instead. Fixed denominations contribute only the amount printed on them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much was an ordinary Forever stamp in 2014?
The one-ounce letter rate was 46 cents at the start of 2014 and became 49 cents on January 26. Earlier Forever stamps automatically followed the new rate without added postage.
Does every 2014 stamp in the USPS program belong in the Forever list?
No. The program also contained fixed-denomination, postcard, extra-ounce, Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, stamped-stationery, and semipostal products.
Why does Star-Spangled Banner appear with two dates?
USPS listed an initial January 28 release and expanded booklet, coil, and ATM formats on March 3. This directory treats that as one design with two scheduled format releases.
