John,

the todays rate for one american dollar is 0.756956 euro cent.
Today your two greenstamps dosn't cover the postage of Euro 1.55.
One IRC, new or old, covers mailing from DL. If you are generous send
one IRC and one greenstamp, covers postage and there is a small donation.

just my 2 euro cents

Hans, DK9KX
