Actually the Paypal account contains several different currencies already, but the "Donate" button on our pages cannot be set to allow the donor to choose currency (or at least I haven't found how).

As for the transfers, it's not really that expensive. When you transfer larger chunks at a time (>500 SEK) Paypal doesn't charge anything. And neither does the the swedish bank I use. I guess we might get a poor conversion rate, but the times I've looked it didn't seem out of the ordinary.
