[Dx-qsl] Additional IRC Question - Unstamped IRCs

Fri Nov 24 10:08:25 EST 2006

My local Post Office didn't want to accept a few IRCs that were not stamped 
on the left side until I showed the clerk 372.4b which says:

"...Under the Universal Postal Union's regulations member countries are not 
required to place a control stamp or postmark on the international reply 
coupons that they sell. Therefore some foreign issue reply coupons which are 
tendered for redemption may bear the name of the issuing country (generally in 
French) rather than the optional control stamp or postmark. Such coupons are 
exchangeable for U.S.> postage as specified in 372.3b..."

He was happy and exchanged them for 84 cent stamps and I was also happy.
