Stamp

Stamps were an achievement-like feature released on July 26, 2010. Stamps were earned by completing various objectives in games, meeting mascots, or completing tasks with other players or at parties. Stamps earned were stored in a stamp book, which could be accessed from a Player Card. Some stamps could be earned by all players, and some could only be earned by members. There were 352 different stamps.
Stamps had four different difficulty levels, denoted by the color of their background: easy (green), medium (yellow), hard (blue), and extreme (red). There were also different categories of stamps signifying their source, denoted by the shape: event stamps (rounded triangle), activity stamps (oval), game stamps (hexagonal), and video game stamps (trapezoid).

==Pins==
In addition to stamps, pins were also collected in the Stamp Book. Using the Stamp Book, penguins could show off their pins to other penguins in Club Penguin. The pins are arranged in date of release (the time they are available). If you hover over them, you can also see when the pins were released and what they are called.

==Trivia==
*For each game, you could get double coins if you get all the game's stamps, except for Card-Jitsu, Card-Jitsu Fire, Card-Jitsu Water, and Treasure Hunt.
*To have a chance of collecting all the stamps, you needed to be a member.
*There was a mysterious page at the far back of a penguin's Stamp Book - this was later revealed by the Club Penguin team to be "a mystery, but maybe an indication to say that there will be more Stamps in the future".
*The Trick-or-treat stamp was the first stamp to change difficulty, where it was changed from the "Easy" difficulty level to the "Medium" difficulty level.
*There were some occasions where stamps that you have not earned (example: a penguin earning a 365 days stamp before it has been on Club Penguin for 365 days) were added to your Stamp Book. You could contact the Club Penguin support team and they would eventually remove it.
*Stamps from Club Penguin: Game Day! were no longer available from May 20, 2014 onwards due to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection being discontinued for Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii systems, thus preventing coins, items, and stamps from being transferred from the game to online.
==Glitches==
*For a few minutes after the initial stamps were released, some penguins already had all the stamps. This was fixed very soon after.
*There was a glitch that when your membership expired it will say, "Get Membership" in different languages that did not let you look at it. This was fixed.
*There was a glitch where it only had the party icon in front page, this was fixed.
*There was a glitch where in your player card it would say undefined stamps, this was fixed.
*When clicking on a stamp page it might've said you had all the stamps there.
*There was a glitch occurring on a server where penguins lost all their stamps. It was fixed later.
