[Dx-qsl] IRC's revisited

Thats about right, although I am confused about with whom they are
exchangable.
If I cash any IRC in at the PO counter, I get the postage. SO who does
the PO exchange it with ?
Unless.......as an example. I get an IRC issued in Japan, change it in
the UK, and the PO then 'exchange' it with Japan. Now that would require
[by my understanding] an arrangement between the UK and Japan. If that
does not exist then the UK PO are stuck with it.[and hence the loss]
It sounds as if all these countries who are now not willing to accept
'yellow' IRC's have no reciprocal arrangement for reimbursement with the
issuing country. OR more likely - Nobody has, but a lot of Postal
Authorities do not yet realise it. Those who do realise it have stopped
accepting them.
