Daz,

I know the check would be good, but I believe that a money order would be less trouble for Dread.

I'm not sure, but I think at least some banks offer money orders made out in currencies other than that of the country where they are purchased.

Here in the states, a check deposited is often not credited until it clears the bank of the issuer. This could be anything from 48 hours to five business days. I don't think that a money order incurrs this waiting period.
