The Elim, a denomination unique to Ankh-Morpork. Representing the smallest unit of currency in the city, or one sixteenth of a penny to be exact. Their coin counterpart may buy you:
’A candle stub, a small potato that’s only a bit green. or an apple core that ain’t been entirely et’ (from Making Money).
In postal terms these pretty little stamps would likely cover all the little items that needed to travel the shortest distance in the longest time, or simply play their part in the de facto currency of stamps among the inhabitants of Discworld’s mightiest city.
