Talk:International reply coupon

Examples of use

I have been bold and removed all of the examples of use. They do not feel encyclopedic. Where IRCs have had a document cultural impact that may well be worth including, the Ponzi scheme is a good example of this. A list of possible ways in which an IRC could be used is too open ended. pcr^talk 04:38, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Availability in Europe

A recent attempt to buy an IRC in the post office in Blackrock, Ireland, resulted in the claim that nowhere in Europe sells these coupons anymore. I doubt this is true! 62.17.135.86 (Talk) 05:32, 12 June 2007

Bought some in Luxembourg just weeks ago for €1.25. --Kloth (talk) 22:59, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

0.90 USD rate

Is the cost of an international airmail from the USA really just that much? 118.90.125.206 (talk) 14:24, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

It is $0.98 (as already reflected in the main page) 74.76.128.243 (talk) 19:33, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Current position in UK

According to Royal Mail's website:

-- Please note: The current version of the International Reply Coupon has an expiry date of 31st December 2011. After this date, International Reply Coupons with this expiry date can no longer be exchanged for postage. --

However that doesn't indicate what they think the current version is. This week I cashed the old undated version (shown in the article as the one issued in Germany). My friend at the PO counter had to check that she could still exchange it, which she could, but she also said that these were only exchangeable until the end of 2013. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.174.173.62 (talk) 20:54, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
