is a coupon that can be exchanged for one or more postage stamps representing the minimum postage for an unregistered priority airmail letter of up to twenty grams sent to another Universal Postal Union (UPU) member country. IRCs are accepted by all UPU member countries. UPU member postal services are obliged to exchange an IRC for postage, but are not obliged to sell them. The purpose of the IRC is to allow a person to send someone in another country a letter, along with the cost of postage for a reply. an IRC removes the necessity of acquiring foreign postage or sending appropriate currency. it was 1st introduced in 1906 at a UPU congress in Rome. The current IRC, which is available since July 1, 2009, is called the "Nairobi" model, and is available from post offices in more than 70 countries. they can be ordered from the UPU headquarters in Bern, Switzerland, by postal authorities. a new IRC will be issued every three years. The current IRC will become obsolete on 31 December 2013. Current stockpiles in the hands of users should be expended by then, or exchanged for the new issue to be introduced at that time. The current issue IRC may be exchanged until 31 December 2013 (date printed on coupon).This is a 2012 IRC from UAE :) Srource:Wikipedia
