International Reply Coupons (IRCs)

The International Reply Coupon (IRC) is a postage certificate issued by the Universal Postal Union (UPU), which can be circulated and used among the UPU member countries. When the sender intends to provide the addressee with reply postage, an IRC can be enclosed, which can be exchanged for stamps at the local post offices as reply postage (usually can be exchanged for stamps representing the minimum postage for an unregistered airmail letter).
