<P>The Universal Postal Union has introduced the newest model of the
International Reply Coupon (IRC): The Doha model -- so named for the 25th
Universal Postal Congress that took place in Doha, Qatar in October 2012 -- will
replace the current model, known as the Nairobi model. Although the US Postal
Service no longer sells IRCs, they are still available in other countries and
post offices in the US are mandated to redeem them. The Doha model IRC will be
available for purchase on July 1, 2013. It is valid for exchange until the end
of 2017. The Nairobi model remains valid until December 31, 2013.</P>
