If I had to pay, I would like to pay in Euro, this is one of the money the most people use in the world.

Just a reminder.

Which currency to pay doesn't care that much, IMHO. But where to pay. As written before, Credit Cards aren't popular here [kinda telnet for money ;-)] and orders to the USA are very expensive.

Maybe there's a bank which has "shops" in big EUR and USD cities and other countries around the world, too. So (maybe) I could send my money to Account 1234 at BigBank/Frankfurt, a French mate his money to Account 1234 at BigBank/Paris and you could take that money from Account 1234 @ BigBank/WoundedKnee without paying 7.5€ (or so) per transaction.

Just an idea. For what the hell is globalism good for if not for transfering money?
