Look mate, $199 USD roughly comes up to 100 schooners for Guiness. Maybe
you should consider paying SCO in schooners of Guiness instead of USD?
And of course they're arrogant - most US based businesses can't be
bothered to figure out the monetary conversion of other countries and
they're generally of the mindset that there ain't nothing outside of the
US except for trinkets and beads and 15 foot stone wheels used for
money...(all this coming from an ex-yank living in Oz, ay?)

Else, if you don't want to give SCO USD or Guiness, you can charge for
body fluids. Body fluids are rather expensive; you can drain the 
contents of your stomach into a zip-lock bag and send that to'em - it's
obviously worthwhile to a scientist or biologist somewhere - there would
be enough value placed on it with them - so why not with SCO?

That's at least another option - so now you have USD, Guiness, or a bag
of puke. Which is the easiest for you to come up with?
