Checks from UK banks and others are usually accepted by US banks, but be sure they are drawn in the currency of the nation where the issuing bank is located. When they go through the "process" here, they are credited to the recipient's account at the current exchange rate when processed. I once received a cashiers check from the Bank of Ulster purchased in punts but made out in dollars which could not be processed because of variations in exchange rates. The sender bought it back, cashed it in, then sent me a personal check in punts, which went through the system here with no problem. Similary, checks drawn on US banks should be written in dollars and not the currency of the recipient's country. If you write a lot of checks across currency lines, or checks in large figures, you could probably work out special arrangements with your banker ahead of time.

Would cheques from UK banks be valid in the US?
was wondering with reference to the rape crisis raffle

My understanding is that if you go into Amazon.co.uk via the Amazon.com link on the Mudcat site, the same benefit applies to Mudcat.

Of course that might not be the case - please someone who knows about these things confirm or refute. And the CDs who want might not be available that way. Or you might not be buying them from Amazon anyway. What an uncertain world we live in!

Money orders, bank checques and such still require the sender's signature, so in order to retain anonymity, you have to have a co-conspirator to help. At least this was my experience (for a different reason).

You can always send a check directly to Max, or, for total anonymity, an International Money Order would probably do.

tried to order some CDs via the mudcat link to thereby support Mudcat.Ran into problems as they would have to be shipped to the UK and might be charged import tax. So can I support Mudcat annoymously. that is without having to give credit card details??
