Posten has licensed Digicash and plans to open a mint/bank (Posten already is closely connected to a bank) dealing in Swedish crowns. (This is not news but things seem to be moving right now.) Some (but slight) mention of laundering, of course. It's supposed to come about in 'the beginning of next year'. I wonder how exchanges crowns/dollars will be managed.

Is there an existing Post Office Bank in Sweden? If so, can foreigners open accounts? The UK's postal bank (Girobank) has become more like a normal bank and I think foreigners can open accounts. (The US Postal Savings System was closed in 1956 or so.) I'd rather have a Swedish Digicash account than one in the US. DCF "A bank is just a money switch. Soon we'll all have money switches."
