QSL INFO AND NEWS.....................
NEW IRCS AVAILABLE. New IRCs are now available as of July 1st. The
Universal Postal Union (UPU) has redesigned the International Reply
Coupon (IRC) again. The new design, known as "Beijing Model No. 2," was
submitted by Volodymyr Taran, a graphic artist from Ukraine. Taran's
design was inspired by Michelangelo's painting on the ceiling of the
Sistine Chapel -- "two fingers about to touch framed in a postage stamp,
representing the notions of communication and exchange." The newly
designed IRC will be valid until December 31, 2009. However, the current
IRC is valid through December 31, 2006 (ed. Depending on who you talk
to...). ADDED NOTE: The IRC will celebrate its centenary in 2007. It
was October 1st, 1907, that the International Bureau issued the first
International Reply Coupon. To mark this event, countries can ask the
International Bureau to include a special overprint that reads
"1907-2007: 100 years of IRCs"! Collectors, philatelists and future
buyers will appreciate this added feature. The coupon is certain to be
a popular collector's item at post offices next year.
