AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the absence of sterling and euro options for 1-year contributions, with speculation that it may be to simplify exchange rate calculations. Participants note that the 5-year option still offers favorable rates for sterling, likely established long ago. Payment for contributions is confirmed to be through PayPal, and users can pay with a credit card without needing a PayPal account. One user shares their experience of learning about PayPal through their son, highlighting a common unfamiliarity with the platform. Overall, the conversation touches on payment methods and the rationale behind currency options for contributions.

Why is there is no longer a sterling or euro option for 1yr contributions (though there is for 5yr)? … see https://www.physicsforums.com/payments.php"

I don't know the answer to your question-- maybe it's to save having to calculate exchange rates on a regular basis. If you look at the 5 year option, you'll see that the rates quoted are very favourable towards sterling, and so I imagine were set quite some time ago!
 
Thanks for posting the question tiny-tim.Mentors,If I go for the five year option are there instructions on how to pay?A silly question perhaps but I found nothing when I clicked on the reference above.

No Smash Martians but a single Nipper plus several Muffin the Mules,antique childs sewing machines,egg cups, tea pots,brewernalia,teddy bears,wind up horn gramophones,scientific instruments,old radios(including an early1920s BBC crystal set which still works)the list goes on and on and most of the stuff is stored in the loft.
I don't know how to send photographs or other attachments but it is something I have been meaning to learn for some time now and I will certainly have a crack at it.During the week my son is flying off to yet another exotic location and I may have to wait until he returns.

Payments are through Paypal, but you do not need a Paypal account. There will be an option to pay with credit card.
