Statue of Liberty on Postage Stamps

With my sons, I am preparing a presentation on the Statue of Liberty on postage stamps for the local stamp club. Of course, we are concentrating on stamps from the United States. But I am curious about which other countries have had the Statue of Liberty on their stamps. Here are some examples from the last couple of years--
First, here is a stamp issued in February of this year by France:

This stamp was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty, Auguste Bartholdi.Posted by Hello


And here is a set of two, issued by Romania in 2002:

But what exactly is that thing in the right stamp? Posted by Hello
The problem with this photoblogging software is that sometimes I want 2 pictures in one post. So much cutting and pasting should not be necessary...
