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).

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).
