That were probalby IRC's of what you heard.
Because SASE means Self-addressed-stamped-envelope, why put in 3 of them

?
IRC means international reply coupon. That's possible, that you have to put in 3 sometimes. But I mostly I would put in 1 or 2, thah's enough.

Exactly, you've probably mixed up SASE with IRC!
* An international reply coupon (IRC) is a coupon that can be used to post a standard 20 gram letter anywhere in the world. The purpose of the IRC is to be able to send someone in another country a letter, along with the cost of postage for them to reply. If the addressee is within the same country, a self-addressed stamped envelope ("SASE") will work; but if the addressee is in another country an IRC removes the necessity of acquiring foreign postage or sending appropriate currency.
* An SASE is a SELF-ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE: an envelope with the sender's name and address on it, with affixed paid postage.
