Adsense Announces New Payment Method
But only for a few countries.
You can now get your AdSense payment through Western Union
You will get paid in cash. This sounds like a cool idea for a lot of other places, not just the countries announced. I wonder why they only make it available in the listed countries and not everywhere.
New Western Union payment method
We’re excited to tell you that we're offering a new payment method for some countries. If you're located in Argentina, Chile, China (Mainland), Colombia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, or Romania, you can now sign up for Western Union Quick Cash, a new form of payment that lets you receive your AdSense payments in cash using the worldwide Western Union money transfer service. Payments will be available for pickup at your local Western Union agent the day after they are issued, according to our normal payment schedule.
Inside AdSense: New Western Union payment method
This could help stop some of the problems I have heard about with AdSense checks.
The Adsense Check that bounced.
The Adsense Check cashed by someone other than the payee.
I believe that if you are relying on outside sources for your income, in almost all cases, you should have a backup plan.

Well, not quite. You see, in my particular case, no one else except myself should be allowed to cash that check. The bank has the duty to proof the identity of the person presenting the check. Or this bank failed to do so.
Anyway, this is good news for people working in the countries above. The commission they need to pay now to the banks to cash these checks are way too high. You lose 30 dollars from your money commission to the bank in Romania. That's a rip off. Imagine how hard these web masters work to get every cent. Heck, I know that every blogger who runs adsense ads knows what I am talking about.
