As always, sending an SASE is preferable, with IRC being acceptable

Failing that, cash can be sent however I would always get it converted into the home currency. Make it as easy as possible for the person to reply to you and it increased your chances of getting a reply
The only problem with sending UK currency is that we have no paper money smaller than £5, which is much more than needed for sending an overseas letter, so you would need to send 2-3 pound coins in your envelope, which is obviously tricky. With letters to the US you can send dollar bills so that's less of a problem.
Alternatively, you could visit the Sales section of the forum where members often swap stamps or you can buy some off them
