Hi Joan, Neither the US Post office or most US banks convert money into Euros... I get my brother in law in Canada to secure my Euro check. Also, I have a dual citizen (Irish/Amer) friend who still maintains an Irish checking account. It does seem so '19th century' that you have to do it this way. All the best.

Thanks. You have confirmed the problem I am having, so I will go ahead and send a check and bump it up so that they receive the right amount given the exchange rate.
