On the new IRC writed "MUST be exchanged by 31.12.2006".

I am oft exchanged IRC for postage stamps. And many HAMs in DL also.
In DL one letter to non-european lands costs 1,55 euro (~1,8$).
But I can buy IRC (for example from QSL managers) on 1...1,2$.
Therefore, changing IRC for postage stamps I have profit 60...80 cents on
the letter.
