The cost of mailing a letter goes up a penny to 42 cents today, the latest in what are expected to be annual price adjustments by the Postal Service.

A new law regulating the Postal Service makes it easier to raise rates as long as the agency does not exceed the rate of inflation. Rates can be adjusted each May.

The Forever stamp, though, remains valid for first-class postage regardless of increases.

The Forever Stamp -- the only real money the US makes anymore.
