about IRC

from OPDX news

IRC NEWS. Just a reminder for those who like to stockpile International
Reply Coupons (IRCs)-- the current IRC will expire at the end of year.
Unlike the old style coupons, the current types all have an expiry date,
giving them a maximum life of 3 years. If you purchased a current IRC
today, they will still expire on December 31, 2009. Ken, ZL2HU, advises
us on the following information from International Postal Union in Geneva:
"The current issue (Beijing 2) IRC may be exchanged up to 31 December
2009 (date printed on coupon). In principle, Beijing 2 coupons will no
longer be sold from 31 August 2009. The new international reply coupon
(Nairobi model) is due to go on sale from 1 July 2009, and will be valid
for exchange until 31 December 2013." Ken states, "So make sure you
aren't holding any of the Beijing 2 coupons at the end of this year."
