I am not the only Adsense publisher who is suffering through Google’s policy of paying in $US.  I notice that colleagues are drawing attention to this problem as well. In the UK and Europe many of us have seen our earnings drop dramatically in real terms due to the weakness of the US Dollar over recent months.  The exchange rate against the pound has been well above $2 for a long time now, whereas two years ago the currency bobbed along around $1.5.  An Adwords advertiser in the UK does not benefit from the exchange rate - they still pay Google in £ for their ads.  Somewhere along the line there is some money being made from the markets. But at least Google pay by Bank transfer, inline Clickbank who still send cheques (sorry, checks) in $US to overseas publishers.
