The Euro = an evil currency.
So, for those of you who aren't obsessively looking at exchange rates, the Euro is more valuable than the US dollar. Which means, when one purchases euros, it costs a -wonderful- amount of dollars to buy them. I ordered some euros from my bank at the end of last week, and picked them up today. I bought them at roughly 1 USD = 0.74 EUR, which is not too bad. (btw, the exchange rates that you see on xe.com or something like that are not really exchange rates for the general public, they're really rates for buying/selling very, very large amounts of currency. So, when an individual buys another currency, they get a lower rate. This is when you say "oh, okay.")
So yeah, I bought 200 euros. You can see them below. I'm going to have to get accustomed to dealing with bills that come in different sizes depending on their value...
In any case, Germany should totally go back to the Deutsche Mark. Just sayin'.
