Title: Euro vs. Dollar
Post by: CG6468 on August 11, 2011, 03:35:03 PM
I have about $111.2783 worth of Euros from our trip to Ireland. (Today's exchange rate.) Keep 'em or get rid of 'em?

For a hundred buck worth, more or less, it doesn't really make a lot of difference, but there really isn't anything on the horizon to say why either one of them would be getting stronger in the near future.  All things being equal, except for saving some coins or small bills for souvenirs, I think I'd convert 'em back to dollars.

Problem is, I have to go all the way down to the Loop in Chicago to do that (35 mile drive down the African 500, + parking down there, + out of control ticketing by cops, or a 1.5 hour train ride basically along the same route.) It's not worth my while now.

Thanks for the opinion, though.
