OMFG European Banks in Germany and Holland refuse US dollar

Discussion in 'Trading' started by cold, Mar 20, 2008.

  1. What kind of tourist walks around with 5K in dollars ? Drug dealers or hookers ?

    Normal tourists use ATM cards to get all the Euros they want.

  2. cold

    cold

    yeah I know what you are saying, I hope my family got it wrong

    but still the fact that it is happening with USD in small currency outlets is scary, we are not talking here Mongolian currency

    anyway, I didn't come here to fight with patriotic guys, I just posted what I heard

    I'll go for late night pizza now, good luck to all

  3. Well I don't sell drugs, and I'm pretty sure I am not a hooker, and I always bring at least 5k in dollars when I travel. I do it so I realize exactly what I am spending.

  7. Seriously though, there are reasons to carry cash. I started carrying cash when I was once traveling and found I was limited to taking out 200 dollars per day.

    When I got home I immediately went to my bank and asked them to raise it to 5000. They told me they would do it if I sign a piece of paper saying they are not responsible for fraud on my account.

  10. Exactly why you always need cash on deposit for the country in which you're traveling.

    Bitches and street urchin's don't ALWAYS take American Express
