[IRCA] OT: International Reply Coupons

[AM-DXer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Griffith, N0NNK / WPE9HVW)]

The Spring 2007 edition of the Canada Post Corporation collectors'
catalog (Collections of Canada) announces the release of a new design
IRC inspired by Michelangelo's famous painting on the ceiling of the
Sistine Chapel. The new IRC is called "Beijing model No. 2". The release
mentions that 2008 is the centenary year for the IRC. There is a caveat
that the new coupon will be exchangeable in all of the more than 70
Universal Postal Union member countries up to December 31, 2009. The
collectors' price is listed as C$3.50 each.

I must have sent out several hundred IRCs with reception reports to
foreign countries over the past 40 years.
