The Euro MUST go!

[WillParkinson]

It makes it harder to find good foreign coins. <grin>

1. If you are looking for some good ones

Just PM me and maybe we can do some trading...

2. But our holidays this year were so easy

with no money exchanging!

4. Yes - I love it

Shopping in France and the Netherlands (not what you're thinking :evilgrin: ; Peanut Butter ) made easy; no more hazzle with leftover coins - I don't want to miss it (except some idiotic economic decisions in the early 90s which are now problematic and irreversible).

5. You come to Holland for peanut butter?

:-)

We also take it with us when we go away for a few weeks...

6. Yes - I love it

And De Ruijter, Advocaat and Vla.
But the one thing I couldn't go without is Calve Pindakaas - I'm near Münster several times a year; it's only half an hour to Enschede from there.

12. Thank you for posting that

I knew that each country had different backs to the coins, now I can see who has what!
I made it a point when bringing money back for my kids to collect to look for the harps so they'd get Irish euros.

9. The trolleys at Kefalonia airport still take 100 drachma coins...

Luckily I happened to have one from a previous holiday when I visited last year...

How stupid is that?

10. So All Of My Deutschmarks Are Worthless Now?

Are Norwegian Kroners collectable now too?

11. You can still change your Deutschmarks

At the German Central Bank.

Kroner are still in use: no Euro in Norway.

13. Thanks! But I Wonder...

I wonder if the cash (conversion) value of Deutschmark coins and currency is LESS than what they will be worth in a few years.

Is it a fool's investment to think my collection of loose change and currency (left-over pocket money from previous Bavarian vacations) will someday be worth something?

I'm sure it won't pay for my retirement, and I suspect that my German currency will be like Confederate Currency... never being worth face value again, but of interest to collectors (eventually).
