Thanks to "The Daily DX" for
this information.
If you have
old US-issued International Reply Coupons (IRCs), they can still be redeemed,
but you need to do it very soon. IRCs issued prior to 2002 (the old small ones)
can be redeemed for one penny less than the issue (stamped) price, and must be
redeemed by October 10. IRCs with an expiration date of December 31, 2006 can
also be redeemed for one penny less than the issue price; these must be
submitted to the post office by September 1, 2008. All non-US stamped IRCs
issued prior to December 31, 2006 are non-redeemable. For more information,
please refer to pages 28 and 57 in US Postal Bulletin 22215, dated September 13,
2007. Search The USPS Site for bulletins -- URL:

IRC & GreenStamp Chart
-- IRC's Required to return a QSL to the United States -- From N6DHZ
On 1st January 2002, a completely new style of IRC will be introduced
to be known as the CN 01 (as the present style). This new type of IRC will be larger than those presently in circulation and will remain valid
until 31st December 2006. The name of the country of origin will be printed on these coupons as a matter of course. Also printed on them,
amongst other things, will be a standardized UPU bar code containing the ISO code of the country and the date of
printing. Each country's postal administration will have the option of printing the selling price
on the coupon itself. The old style coupons will be withdrawn from sale on 31st December 2001.
Properly validated coupons will continue to accepted for exchange for postage stamps until further notice from the
UPU.
