Hotel reservation- send a check?
I have been asked to send a check for 30 euros by mail to one of the hotels we will be staying at in France. Perhaps a stupid question, but can I write a check for a non-USD amount? (I am in the States). If not, how do I go about doing this in some other manner?
Thanks for any help!

It's been 10 years since I left the banking industry, but at that time it would have been very difficult for them to cash a check on a US bank. If they won't take a credit card # for a deposit, perhaps you could call AmEx and buy a couple of traveler's checks in €.

Hi M,
Many people have reported on this board that they arrange to send a check in USD for the current rate (about $130/E) + $10.
The landlord then holds the check until you arrive. If you don't, they can cash the check and pay the fee with the excess amount.
