What is the local currency?
|
From January 1st of 2002, the currency in circulation is the euro. There are some notes of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 euros. The nominal values of the coins are the following : 1 cent (or 1/100 of euro), 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 euro and 2 euros. The conversion of traveller-checks (Reiseschecks) can be carried out in all German banks. Branches of banks or foreign exchange offices (Wechselstuben) can be found in most border posts, in main railway stations and airports. Cash dispensers increasingly accept the visa card but it is not usual. The rule remains the use of the "EC" card or Eurocard and the payment in cash is very frequent.
