1979 (15 Sep) Brazil 18th UPU Congress $02.50 ATM stamp FDC (Mi. Nr. 1), in combination with 2.5cr, tied by Rio first day cds and Copacabana cds, alongside with philatelic exposition commemorative seal. As the vending machine was not timely approved by the Customs, the vending machine was first in use in the Brasiliana Stamp Exhibtiion, instead of UPU congress as the inscription of the stamp suggested. The first day of its service happened to be the first day of new postage (domestic letter 3.2cr), postage on existing examples are not usually not correct. Rarity of ATM philately.

1979.9.15 巴西第十八次萬國郵盟會議2厘士電子郵票首日封（Mi.Nr. 1），加貼2.5里士，銷里約首日日戳及 Copacabana日戳，旁鈐郵展紀念圓戳。 由於海關未有及時批准此票之售賣機，故此票未有按原訂計劃於萬國郵盟會議上投入服務，而是於巴西郵展上 亮相。由於投入服務的首日正好同是調資首日（國內平信3.2厘士），故大多存世例子均未有貼用正確郵資。自 動化郵票之罕品。
