Keywords:International payments shareware money In the US it is usually possible to buy travelers' checks denominated in a foreign currency; these can generally be converted at no charge by the recipient in that country. I buy Bank of America checks in pounds sterling on a regular basis to buy books from the UK; n one has ever had any trouble converting them. BoA has various other currency types available. It is a *lot* cheaper than International Money Orders. I assume the same kind of things should be available at larger banks in most European countries, in dollar denominations. Ditto elsewhere, though I have no personal knowledge. <Digression: Bank of America is a private corporation, not an arm of the federal government of the U.S.> Hope this helps. --Mike Ward
