Maybe, depending on where you are and when "last year" was. The US postal service began a few years ago issuing "forever" stamps that are first-class postage "forever" ... that is, they can be used to mail a first-class letter even if the cost of first-class postage goes up. These will say "forever" on them, and will not have a denomination other than that. They're priced at whatever the current first-class postage rate is. If a stamp does have a denomination on it, that's the value of the stamp. If that's insufficient for current postage rates, you will need to add stamps to make up the difference.
