Those are USPS domestic stamp prices, an international stamp is currently $1.70.
While a domestic pen pal probably isn't uncommon, the programs I recall tended to match you with someone international.

Still, is $1.70 (or even the 3 euros mentioned above) really that much to pay every week or two in order to maintain a meaningful friendship? An espresso drink costs more than that in many places.
Of course, email is free, so I could understand someone preferring to have a penpal relationship that way.
