The most convenient and economical way to send money overseas is
    to use a credit card for payment.  Then you avoid bank fees and
    get a good exchange rate.  For small amounts you might consider
    sending European cash, which you should be able to procure at most
    banks, with a somewhat worse exchange rate and also an exchange
    fee.  For larger amounts you might want to send a bank wire.
    Checks drafted in foreign currency may also be obtained from
    International Currency Express Inc. for a US$5 fee.  See
    <http://www.foreignmoney.com/> or call +1-888-278-6628.

    In Germany, International Reply Coupons (IRCs) can only be redeemed
    for postage, and even then only one coupon per piece of outgoing
    international mail.  Thus IRCs are not a general means of payment.
    International postal money orders are not accepted in Germany.
