Euro (€) Currency Thread

phatbear

Pup,

Alas my choocy dubloons have long since been snaffled, im not a phatbear for nothing.

The weather is stupidly hot here, infact I have just been told off by a shop assistant in tescos for wearing a black t-shirt, however my new squirrel g-string is on and its doing its job of making all the normally milky white bits go a tad darker.

all the best

I purchased Euros in January for a holiday and we're now home with 100E cash and 200E travellers cheques.
My brain is frazzled trying to understand the strengths/weakness of £/E so can someone please explain if I'm better off keeping hold of the Euros until the rates change or is now a good time to cash them in please.

Hi Tyrone, welcome to MSE

I'm not sure whether you're advertising currency exchange or offering to exchange your own, but either way, it's against the forum rules:

Hi,

You'd be better off selling them now, as its currently a sellers market, of course no one can predict if the euro will fluctuate up and down over the next few months so you would be better getting rid whilst the euro is low.

Another idea is find a friend or member of your family who is going abroad soon and sell them to them, that way you both gain out of the transaction.

You could buy them now or you could buy them later. The rate may go up or the rate may go down.

As I have just stated in the other thread you have posted on: you could buy them now or you could buy them later. The rate may go up or the rate may go down.
