I really doubt many, if any celebs really bother holding onto foreign money. If you send US currency and they reply, it's really because they're willing to pay for it themselves, and they would've likely also replied had you sent none at all.

I just send regular US currency. At some time or another these celebs will be over here in the US for filming movies or attending premeires, so they can always bring the cash along to spend at the shops or buy some munchies while they watch their film!

Do you send in their currency, or US currency

Yes, but not all post offices are employed by intelligent people. It's like talking to a wall when trying to communicate with post office employees.

I don't agree with the cash method either, especially if you're not sending it in their currency.

And I could be wrong, but isn't the "central" post office in an area required to stock IRCs?

How can a post office just stop selling IRC's?! This is rediculous! I recommend buying US stamps from the USPS website. Not to disagree with other members, but sending concealed cash is never a good idea, I have been told this from an early age.

I agree with RYAN.J,
If for some reason I find myself without IRC's, as you have now,
I include money, and I've never had any problems using that method.
Good Luck!

Hi MWFan,

I would say try Paige's suggestion. Alos, sometimes other countries post office may sell you stamps if you call them. I've heard people from Canada and other countries have called the U.S. post office and purchased U.S. stamps over the phone so you might be able to do that for other countries too. You may also want to call USPS back and see if they will sell you IRC's over the phone or if there is a way they could find out which post offices in your area had them.

Also, I believe your post office gave you incorrect information. I had a hard time finding IRC's too (had to go to five different post offices to find them). I asked the manager at all five post offices if I could just use U.S. stamps on my return envelope from a foreign country and they said absolutely not. I even called my local post master and they said the same thing. U.S. stamps won't work if coming from a different country. For future reference, you may not want to do that.

Hope that helps! Any questions, feel free to post.
