It'll buy you one meal at panera.

[jamer123]

is this true

[-Spector-]

One Euro = $1.55

5 x $1.55 = $7.75

[Asamin]

I miss having Euros. I had 2 Euros and 53 Euro cents back in Mississippi. I also had about $3 in Swiss Francs until my friend's couch ate them.

I only ever end up with that accidental foreign change that seems to show up in random transactions. Mostly Canadian, but occasionally British or some other random coinage.

[Lenny]

All I ever get are Irish 5p coins rather than British 5p coins. :(

Euro's look nice, though I wouldn't want to be part of it.

[Wallow]

Well if the Euro value is .5 higher than the dollar, do Europeans make more money or do they just make less Euros.

[Coffeedagger]

I was actually seriously contemplating converting most of my money into euros

i still am looking into it and i have to do it soon before the dollar value plummets even more.

[Wallow]

If you'd do that, then you would have to move to Europe to use those Euros. They're worthless in the US unless you convert them

[Coffeedagger]

I would just be converting my money as an investment. Not to spend but to save since their dollar value seems more stable and to be increasing more than the american dollar.

[Lenny]

Not to spend but to save since their dollar value seems more stable and to be increasing more than the american dollar.

Come again? The European dollar value? You've lost me completely - explain what you think you mean.

[Coffeedagger]

I just think that the american dollar value is plummeting so i want to convert my monetary units into Euros where they might be more secure.

[Lenny]

Compared to the British economy, the Euro is weakish - it's only recently that it's dropped from £1 = €1.50 to £1 = €1.25. Your money would be safer as sterling... as long as the American dollar continues to fall. If it begins to rise, then you'll find yourself in a position where if you convert your sterling back to USD, you'll have less than you started with.

Plus there's the fact that the British economy is slowly being fucked, with ludicrous petrol prices and high interest rates (well, 5% - the highest they've been for years), but that can be traced to America and your damned wars and the credit crunch a year or so ago.

[Coffeedagger]

What is "sterling"?

[Willkillforfood]

British currency.

[Coffeedagger]

Oh really?, ok thanks.

So you suggest by now just leave my monetary units as american dollars?

[KagomJack]

Pretty much.

[alibambam]

lol

1euro=1.5 dollar

its because the economics in europe are doing better then in U.S.A

[Lenny]

€1 = $1.5671, to be exact. :p

And £1 = $1.9777 recurring.

Not bad to say our economoy is getting bent over sideways and buggered.
