I sent 5 postcards overseas today, the lady at the post office told me each stamp would be 24 cents. Turns out that is the price for sending them within the US. These were headed out to Germany, Finland, the The Netherlands.
Will these still make it to their planned destinations? Will the recipient have to pay the extra to get them?
They had no return address.

You have a problem. Mail is not allowed to leave the country without proper postage, and you didn't even put a return address on them. Start over from scratch because those cards are going to the dead letter office, I'm afraid.

Generally the U.S. has set overseas prices historically due
to the largest shipment is presently to overseas servicemen.
To europe is fine, though a stamp in France for a postcard can
be done on fridays with third rate speed at 4 cents. Still the same that it was when the U.S. signed the embassies and agent
of trade act in 1949. At least in Italy, France, Holland, UK, and
Monaco the price will be extra.
