I just turned mine in today. Even in a small town they knew how to
handle them.
No cash though, only $.84 USA international stamps

Fellow DXers:
I had an appointment with my local postmaster today that I made last
week after writing him about the IRC expiration situation. I ended up
with about 140 84 cent US Airmail stamps and a few 1c stamps left over
as "change". The whole exchange process took about 15 minutes and he
was most helpful. I had my IRCs group in bundles of 25. I kept all
the "current" IRCs that don't expire until 2009 or so.

It is good to be equipped with the rules:

I took some IRCs to the post office today, and they first tried to
tell me I had to have something to mail. I showed them the rules that
state they can be exchanged for postage stamps.
The next problem was they say since the IRCs were not purchased this
year, they have to look up the rules for the year when the IRCs were
purchased. They think the IRCs are only good for the postage amount
calculated in the year purchased. They are checking this and will
call me. I have a note from them stating that I brought the IRCs in
today.
In reading the rules, (see Section 372.3 a) it says that unused US
coupons may be exchanged only for US postage stamps by the original
purchaser at a discount of 1 cent below the purchase price.
I have a mix of US and foreign IRCs. I did not point out the above
rule, but I expect they might stumble across it. Have others had
exchange of US purchased IRCs turned down because they were not the
original purchaser? My US IRCs are from various US cities.
