Sending $US to the US

[Ovid]

So, in order to get married, I need my birth certificate.  Texas requires, since I live outside the US, that I mail all of my paperwork to them, along with $27 US (not surprisingly, they don't accept pounds).  That's about £17. My bank charges £20 for the bank draft, plus the £17 face value.

Anyone happen to know a less expensive way to send, via mail, US dollars to the US, short of sending cash?

Cheers,
Ovid
