You could therefore buy a prepaid credit card from a site such as
https://www.coinsbee.com/, and then use that prepaid card to purchase your course.
I think he needs to ask the support team about that. Quote the following part:
You can't use a pre-paid card to pay for a Coursera subscription.
So I don't think these cards will work because the name and address will most likely be verified.
Contact the support team before purchasing these cards.

Everything is so bureaucratic. Even in a platform such as coursera which is teaching about the latest new technologies they are stuck in old payment methods...
Thanks for pointing it out.
I will probably just pay about 6-10% in fees and use a credit card...
