she was just a dumb bitch.
of course you can use your euros everywhere in europe, no matter in which country they were made.
>> Anonymous
No, you can only use Euros minted in the country you are in. They do this to prevent counterfeiting

So the point of having the Euro is not for a universal form of currency, but to have currency with a universal value? (e.g. 10 euros is 10 euros regardless of what country you are in)

I always thought it was the former because European countries are so small. Shit would suck if all the money in your wallet was invalid as soon as you drove across the border to the next country, and I guess that's how it works?

You can use every euro in every country that introduced the euro, however value is not universal because the wages and the cost of living differs.
>> Anonymous
ugh...
The value is the same, you can't trade a euro for two euros.
Can you imagine, exermining every euro, wether it was minted in your country? You can spend your euros in every country that has them.
Everyone is trolling in this thread...

Yes, fuck. You can use any euro made in any country and use them everywhere.

She was prolly being a bitch and just didn't want to serve you because your American or something and wanted to give you a stupid excuse.

Why would paper money be valid everywhere but not coins? Here in Slovenia we heve more euro coins from other countries in circulation than our own.

I've PERSONALLY used French euros in Spain. They DO NOT make a difference. The only reason there are different euros is because every country wants to have their own things on the coins. Also, the reason they don't mix up is because every once in a while banks send the foreign coins they get back to their place in exchange for coins from their own country.

He's just trolling. You can use Euros whereever you want, its just that the back side is different for every country ( don't know why ). Either the person who refused it is a retard or there was something else wrong with it.

I've noticed this to be a common practice. I personally do the same. If an obvious non-European walks into my store and tries to pay with euros not printed in this country, I tell them I can't accept them and they leave. Even though I could have accepted them.

I like ruining filthy tourists' vacations.

THIS. In Germany, for example, you receive coins e.g. from the Netherlands and France not too seldomly.

itt : lies.
They don't send them back. Actually here in France a couple of years ago every every fourth 50c coin used to be spanish because france didn't mint enough 50c coins so they had to import spanish ones.

So by not accepting business to your store, and sending customers down the road, you somehow win?

As everyone has said, they are universal. It's sort of like how American bills have different letters on them depending on the region in which they are printed and distributed initially. After they have circulated around, a region 12 business cannot reject a region 8 bill, just as a Spanish business cannot reject a French Euro.

Yeah, because everyone should give a flying fuck about their bosses' profit margins, capitalist drone.

Not to say, it might be profitable in some places to keep away fat Americans, so that normal people won't be driven out by their obnoxious yelling, and people will see that the place caters to a select clientele...

it's like using a pennsylvania minted dollar in illinois. the lady was just fucking with you.

Spain is the second most visited country and most of those tourists come from other European countries, so they are flooded with foreign Euros. She lied to you knowingly. That, or either you tried to pay her with 10-Thai Baht coins, you dirty bastard.

From my experience, in the last years the average American tourist in Europe is usually more respectful and refined than European tourists. It's kinda expensive for them to travel here, so the ones who do it are usually middle-high class Americans, while the common European tourist tends to be more lower-ish class. Of course this doesn't apply for the rest of the world.

See, this is the shit that makes me terrified to travel abroad. Because the rest of the world thinks American = Fat and Obnoxious.

I'd love to travel and broaden my horizons and all that, but I hate thinking that everywhere I go I'm going to be like a fucking pariah because of my accent.

See, I have enough family and friends in Europe that I know I wouldn't be stoned to death or something. But all it takes is one asshole to ruin things. And it also isn't so much the isolated incidents that always happen when you travel. It's the fact that I know I could go damn near anywhere in the world and there would be someone blaming me for shit that I have no control over.

No, Norway doesn't have the euro and isn't even in the EU. A couple of countries in the EU do not have the Euro ( UK, Sweden and Denmark afaik ), but the newer countries must use the Euro once their economy is stable enough.

Sweden is forced to introduce the Euro at some point.
The only countries within the EU, that may decide to not use the Euro are the United Kingdom and Denmark.

1 year after the introduction of the euro 26% of the coins in circulation in belgium were minted in other countries. That should answer your question.

Since it's all the same currency, you shouldn't have a problem using it in another country. There's one country in South America that uses USD. I *think* it may have been Argentina, then again, I learned about it a year ago. :P Yeah, same currency, just a different place it was made.
