Andrei,
 
Presuming you've received a current IRC (CN 01 - in top right corner), it  is 
valid for a 90cent US stamp.  You can use a US issued IRC to get a US  stamp 
as well.
 
As others have recommended, I'd keep the thing and send it on to a DX  
station whose QSL you want.  Alternatively, sell it to another ham who  needs 
an IRC 
for QSLing.  These are going to $2.10 on May 12, so the IRC  itself is far 
more "valuable" than a stamp!
 
73,
Steve

Sorry  for possible off-topick.

I have received some IRC coupons with QSL's  for YN2S.
How does it work nowadays?
Should I go po USPS and exchange  them to 90c stamps for overseas mail, or
should I bring all envelopes to  USPS and have them stamp envelopes for every
IRC coupon  instead?

Also if IRC coupon issued in USA,  are they valid to use  in USA or coupons
must be issued in other country?

I found this  remark on some USA QSL manager web page:

"IRCs are not valid in the  country of issue. All IRCs must be issued outside
of the USA for my use."  [end of quote]

Is this right?

Thank you in  advance.
