Since they don't have any IRCs in Ireland anymore, I will now mainly try to send money instead. I've done this with American Request loads of times and it worked fine. But now what do I do for Australia? Can I send money there too and how much will I send?
And what about the UK? I mean, I could send one Pound, but it's a bit weird putting a coin into the envelope, or is it? What do you think?

I never send money with my letter. Is it safe to do that? I mean isn't there a danger that it could get lost?

:D

So If you send Euro, I guess you send Coins as well? Or do you send 5Euro Bills?
So you think I can send Dollars to the UK?

I think the coins may weigh down the envelope & maybe cause a hole :|

Hey Catalina :D

You can obtain Australian currency at your nearest post office/bureau de change. Then send it in with your request. It should be fine to send as long as the envelope is a dark color (brown) to avoid theft. For example, if you placed money in a white envelope, if held up to a light, it can be visible.

For the UK, you could either purchase stamps off the Royal Mail's website or you could send an SAE with your request and state you were unable to locate any British stamps due to your location. Many people do this in letters and still receive responses.
