So I bought an HO model railcar. Inside the box was a slip of paper offering to sell me a $4 decal sheet of different road numbers. $4, last of the big time spenders.
In the upper right hand corner was this: "Due to banking restrictions, we are no longer able to accept checks or money orders drawn on non-US banks (includes postal money orders)."
Wow! $4 checks or money orders might aide terrorism. Or stamp out money laundering. $4, big money that. Or US banks want to stick it to overseas competitors? with Uncle Sam's help?
Clearly some Treasury Dept snivel servant has too much free time if he can think up Mickey Mouse like this.
