Reminder: "Beijing Model 1" IRCs expire at year's end
Check any International Reply Coupons (IRCs) you've got on hand for an expiration date! As of January 1, 2002, UPU-issued IRCs bear expiration dates, after which the coupons have no value. The so-called "Beijing model 1" IRC expires on December 31. The newest IRC, the "Beijing model 2" expires December 31, 2009. Many DXers still use IRCs, issued by the Universal Postal Union (UPU), to cover return postage for QSL cards. According to the UPU, IRCs are exchangeable in all member countries for the minimum postage of a priority item or an unregistered air mail letter sent to a foreign country. An IRC costs $1.85 in the US. Although US post offices are not obliged to sell IRCs, it is mandatory for post offices in UPU member countries to exchange the coupons.
