user492: There've been some questions here about MtGox getting dollars through Dwolla, but what about other channels besides Dwolla?  Are dollars still reaching MtGox somehow?  The price of BTC on MtGox a few minutes ago was over $131, up a bit from a few days ago.  There must be dollars there for people to bid with, and buy bitcoins with; otherwise this couldn't happen.
Another thing I've wondered about is transferring dollars straight to a bank account in the USA.  International bank account numbers are not used in the United States.  Is there a way to do it without one of those?

user5287: Yes, you can transfer cash to Mt.Gox using a service like BitInstant.
