why can't I buy less than $20 worth of L$?

The minimum buy amount is US$ 2.50.  What is telling you that you need to purchase US$ 20.00 worth of lindens? Please snap a picture of it so we may help you further.

Otherwise make sure you are purchasing Lindens on the official LindeX. The link is below.

EDIT:

That is only a suggested amount. You may reduce the number of Lindens and thus the cost in USDs.

Am i missing some other point or issue?

What happens when you press the Place Order button on the $3.40 USD order?

I think it's because the British use pounds and pence, not dollars.

(By the way, it's "Linden Dollars", also called "lindens" and abbreviated as "$L".  London is that town in England with the big clock.)

The current exchange between the Euro to the US Dollar is 1 Euro / US$1.14.

I don't think not being American has anything to do with it -- I'm a Brit, and those images are what I see. Also, LL have always changed me in US$, and PayPal (in my case) converts the charge to £1, and takes that from my PayPal balance or, if the balance is insufficient,, from my bank account.
