Yep. I figure in your set of what to pick from you can include multiple of
each denomination. But limit it to say four $0.01 stamps, so it doesn't
use
lots of them.
You are also going to have to wade through a lot of irrelevant
enhancements
that it has received along the way. But I think the overall logic of
testing possible sets will work.
What I do for mailing is I have a few denominations of large sizes. Then I
have $0.17, which the is extra ounce cost. Then I stock lots of $0.01,
0.02, and 0.03 to fill it up.
At one time I stocked the one-ounce stamp, the three ounce stamp, and a
lot
of the extra ounce stamps. But they kept changing the amounts far faster
than I could use them up. Then they made it different for large and small
envelopes.
