SEOUL -- Preorders for a stamp album issued by South Korea's postal service to commemorate summits between President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un began Monday. The price was set at 25,000 won ($22.2).

The album set included a large stamp showing Moon and Kim who together crossed a raised, foot-wide concrete curb that serves as the borderline in the truce village of Panmunjom in April, surrounded by 14 small stamps showing the two leaders and previous summits involving Kim's late father and two late South Korean presidents --- Kim Dae-jung in 2000 and Roh Moo-hyun in 2007.

In July, South Korea's state mint unveiled a special set of gold, silver and bronze medals commemorating the April summit. The medals captured the moment of Moon and Kim shaking hands against the backdrop of the Korean peninsula on its front.
