Smilies Legend
[i]The Irish word for moon is "gealach." But the stamp accidently spelled it "gaelach," which means being Gaelic, Irish or relating to the Scottish Highlands. Instead of reading "The 50th Anniversary of the First Moon Landing", it now reads "50th Anniversary of the First Landing on the Irish." "While the original Irish text was correct, the transposition of letters in a later draft was not picked up during final proofing, ahead of the printing and release of the stamps on July 4th last," An Post said. "During the design process for the recent Space Exploration stamps, the letters 'a' and 'e' were transposed in the Irish language title on two of the four stamps."[/i]
