Sometimes it happens that Lithuanians send money orders to such remote countries as Peru, Philippines, Ecuador, Ivory Coast, Lebanon, Brazil, Morocco, Columbia, Mauritania, Tanzania, or Kenya. All in all, last year with the help of Lithuania Post residents have sent money orders to 129 countries worldwide.
