Jay Smith & Associates: Denmark: International Reply Coupons: IRCs

UPDATED 2026 July 21

Over the last few days, you may have encountered problems accessing our website. I am sorry for the problems. As I had announced, our website hosting company was migrating our website to new servers. We thought the migration was successful and I did not expect any problems, but the website hosting company had misconfigured the server running our website, causing significant disruptions to our website serving (but depending upon the load on the server). The website hosting company now believes that the problem has been corrected. I have tested for more than a day now and I have not encountered any problems.

However, if you are visiting our website for the first time since BEFORE July 14, it is possible you could INITIALLY encounter a problem because the website was moved to a new IP address. IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEMS VIEWING A PAGE (OR IMAGES), FIRST "reload / refresh" the web page by clicking / pressing the browser reload/refresh button WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD. If that does not immediately solve the problem, try again every few minutes. If the problem remains after 30 minutes, please let me know by email at js@JaySmith.com or by calling me at 336-376-9991. I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Denmark: International Reply Coupons: IRCs

The primary worldwide catalog of UPU International Reply Coupons (IRCs) is Yao's Catalogue of Worldwide Reply Coupons, Volume I: The UPU Coupons, published in 2017. The catalog is completely sold out and quite difficult to obtain; I found out about it too late and then it took me two years to find a used example for my own use. Work on a new edition is said to be underway, but I do not have any information about a potential publication date. I do not know of any other modern catalog listings of only Danish IRCs.

Danish IRCs are seldom offered. I am always interested in buying Danish and all Scandinavian IRCs, as well as groups and collections of IRCs from all countries. If you are seeking Danish or other Scandinavian IRCs, please let me know -- I usually have more IRCs in stock that are not on the website.

This example was sold and postmarked on left side at "KØBENHAVN 18" 2 June 1948. This is in "Mint" (NH) Postmarked VF condition and was never redeemed for stamps to mail a letter. (If it had been redeemed to mail a letter -- thus "Used" -- there would be another postmark, on the right side.) Danish examples of the 1929 Type are remarkably hard to find!
