I mean, a letter to the USA surprisingly would only cost me 1,10 Euro. So this is less than the donated sum, but it's still a bit weird to only send 5 Euro with that.

A donation is a donation. I donate a couple bucks a month to Wikipedia, and they kiss the earth I step on. XDDD

I mean, people are free to donate as they like, I am just pointing out that more than 1/6 of the donation goes to the post service.

Yes, I get it. It’s the same reason why I’m paying for the VAT of my Wikipedia donation. If they have to discount the VAT from my meager contribution, those poor lads will be left with pennies… :P
