	As a shareware author in Australia, i suggest you send a US cheque.
The conversion costs in my bank are $2 Aus, and given the current exchange rate
$1.25 Aus for $1 US, $10 US works out to about $10 Aus.

	I hate US cash being sent to me because the only use i have for it
is to send to other shareware authors in the states :-)
