Since the first postage stamps depicting the national parks were released in 1934, the Grand Canyon has been represented on more stamps than any other park.

In May 1999 Stamp Services discovered a typographic error that occurred during the production of the 60-cent international commemorative Grand Canyon stamp. This resulted in the destruction of 100 million stamps, costing Postal Service approximately $500,000. As a result the OIG conducted a review and disclosed that existing control processes should have provided reasonable assurance that potential errors would be timely prevented and detected. However, in this instance the Postal Service did not adhere to their established control processes.
