100 leftover euros
#14570700 - 06/06/11 06:09 PM (12 years, 7 months ago) |

I found 100 euros from a school trip from highschool in a book in my closet. I am in NY, have no bank account. What can I do to turn it into US currency, or where is it spendable? Just not sure what to do with it.
Thanks for the help

This is the correct answer, spend euros in cash.

No, you cant and no, there arent. Not everyone who lives in New york lives in the city. The only thing on the street where I live is cows. And ive called three banks that told me I needed an account to exchange it. But it doesnt matter now, I found a vendor who will send me some great purple dye for it.

Sometimes big outlet malls will have currency exchanges. You could also try airports. You might be out of luck though if your out in the country.

The bank you do business with, should be able to convert the euros to usd's, easily. Some currencies can be a pita to convert, but the euro, surely isn't one of them.

By the way. A euro gets you $1.466. Currently, an excellent rate of exchange!

Well then you should know better- banks charge for services like this. That's if they take euros at all- I live in a pretty big place, and exactly one bank will take cash euros. That's the downtown Wells Fargo, and they want 15% (!!!) for non-customers.
You can however use your euros to start an account with them, at their stated exchange rate. Which is several points away from xe.com.
So basically you're just talking out your ass. Don't dig your hole any deeper- you've been called for BS, move along.
Best way to handle cash euros is to mail them to Europe and buy things. In my experienced opinion.

I never said they wouldn't charge you for the exchange, smartass. That's rather obvious, don't you think? I convert usd's to pounds and euros, on a monthly basis. So fuck off and head back to OTD.

Mukhail. I misinterpreted this thread contents and thought Doc T was saying he buys dye with cash in Europe. After reaming me for giving you good advice and this- "Best way to handle cash euros is to mail them to Europe and buy things. In my experienced opinion." Which is bad advice.
Good luck! I had the 2 comments mixed up some how. I hope you didn't take offense? If so, my bad! Just a mix up.

Exchange it for silver coins instead, you will be better off unless you plan on spending it in the short term, in which case try to go somewhere that specialized in foreign currency exchange, many coins shops do this for a lower premium than banks.

If I'm not mistaken our dollar is worth more than your dollar now. Looks like it's going to continue that way too.
