The United States Postal Service issued the 37-cent 
Let's Dance/Bailemos commemorative stamps in four designs, on September 17, 2005, in Miami, Florida, and New York. This issue honors the contributions of Latino art to American culture by featuring images that showcase one of four popular dances on each stamp.

Sennett Security Products printed 70 million stamps in panes of twenty in the gravure process.
