[Dx-qsl] IRC's

 the box on the right it says "facultative" and that's
french and means, that it's not necessary!

And I received this from the USPS.
IRCs change hands and are not usually exchanged I
think.
I get 5-10 almost everyday as a manager and I have
buyers for them who in turn use them to acquire their
QSL's
 1. Under 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.
 2. A Post Office facility redeeming an unused U.S.
coupon must postmark it in the unpostmarked circle. A
Post Office facility exchanging a foreign reply coupon
must postmark it in the right circle. Post Office
facilities must not accept foreign coupons that
already bear a Postal Service postmark.
