Re: buying foreign currency (euros)?


 

I have a couple twenties and some coins that you can have ¡ª I¡¯m downtown all day.?

But you don¡¯t need it, there¡¯s lots of ATMs at the airport. And you hardly need them anymore, either ¡ª tap has taken over Europe. E.g., I spent three weeks in Stockholm and never used cash once. A lot of places won¡¯t take cash at all. (This is all happening hereabouts, too.)

BTW, when you¡¯re at an ATM or using a credit card, if they give you the choice of paying in euros or dollars, always choose euros ¡ª your bank will give you a better exchange rate than the credit card company.

One more thing, but it¡¯s prob¡¯ly too late: get a credit card that doesn¡¯t put a surcharge on foreign transactions, e.g., Bank?of America Travel Rewards.

Anyone have a favorite place locally to buy euros?
I'm travelling in March and would like to have a small
supply of folding money with me.

UM Credit Union does not do this (that's my credit
union and my first choice).

thanks for any suggestions, or if you have a small
stash we should talk.
