[SEDXC] Old IRCs vs. NEW IRCs

[Bill Barr]

Gang,

Many of you may have already seen this but it is worth making sure that all are informed.  I picked this up off one of the DX Reflectors.

DON'T THROW AWAY THOSE OLD IRCS! Glenn, K2FF, points out to OPDX readers
  that the date on the current IRCs that reads "31 Dec 06 is an expiration
  date which simply means they can't be SOLD to customers AFTER that date.
  However, they can be redeemed forever. Hams simply need to be armed with
  the copy of the right pages from the International Mail Manual (IMM).
  Glenn states, "This is right out of the 2006 edition of the International
  Mail Manual..." Please note the last sentence in very first paragraph:
     372  International Reply Coupons
     372.1  Description

     a. The sender of a letter may prepay a reply by  purchasing reply
        coupons which are sold and exchangeable for postage stamps at post
        offices in member countries of the Universal Postal Union. The
        period of exchange of international reply coupons issued by the
        Universal Postal Union on or after January 1, 1975 is unlimited.
