"American Express:  Don't QSL From Home Without It!"

Its really quite simple.  Of all the countries in which I have lived or
traveled, the American Express Money Order has been king.  I have never had
one turned down, even in some really small villages in the back of nowhere,
as long as there is a  bank or money exchange present.  Most capitals have
their own AMX bank wich handles foreign exchange.

I best send donations overseas?  I know I've safely sent greenstamps to many
places, as much as $100 bill at a time, but this is illegal in some
countries.

a bit of stir at the bank.
