That is precisely why we need an address to which we can mail a check.
When you write a check in your local currency, that is EXACTLY what will
be transferred from your checking account. The currency exchange rate
adjustments appear only in the depositor's account in whatever local
currency is used there.
This has been requested numerous times in the past, and the question has
always been blown off. I think it is now time to provide a mailing
address for donations. No more redirection to EFT transactions.

a) This is such a fantasy that CitiBank has a section whose
sole function is to resolve currency transaction disputes
that their credit card customers had. Invariably the
disputes are because the customer has a quote in US dollars
that uses an exchange rate other than the one used by
CitiBank. Even after all that is explained to the customer,
lawsuits are filed. [A non-winnable lawsuit, but some people
have far more money than intelligence or common sense.]
b) The current setup clearly indicates that the currency
used is the Euro. If an individual wants to know roughly how
much the transaction will be in their local currency, they
can go to any of the currency exchange rate sites, and note
the caveats listed for the currency exchange rate site.
Adding a second currency will confuse people --- especially
when the amount deducted from their account does not
correspond to the amount that was displayed on the OOo
website screen.
