Because US banks, unlike those in other countries, charge extortionate fees for any transaction involving "foreigh exchange". For example, mine charges $US75 *minimum* to process a check not in $US. Even in $CAN. Canadian banks are far more accomodating, as are those in the rest of the world, AFAIK. Of course, credit-card payment eliminates the problem, as credit-card companies automatically handle the exchange at market rates. -- Jeremy H.
