Finding leftover Euros

Elnino · Post by **Elnino** » Sun 19th Jul 2009 01:28 pm

I'm off to Amsterdam a week tomorrow and had a root around the house today, counting up all my odd euros and 10 cent pieces etc from previous trips abroad. After counting it all up I've so far found 24 euros, which by my calculations is pretty much 2 grams of stonking chronic!

Brilliant, it's like free money! Does anybody else partake in this ritual before trips away? It's weird because I do this every time yet there's always a good amount of loose euros kicking around every time I look!

Nice, I have 2 wallets, one for home and one for Amsterdam I usually have some left over euros that I just keep in a safe place ready for the next trip.

i also have two wallets.. 1 for home and 1 for amsterdam..

my reasoning is that the euros didnt fit in the wallet i have at home as the canadian bills arent as large as the euro. same would be for the american bills im pretty sure

iv got one wallet..and no the euros dont fit properly neither do £ notes. no bif deal though. the extent of my leftover euros right now is a 2 euro coin that i keep in my wallet. it will be the first coin i spend on my next trip if all goes well. prob on a soda at a cs or some papers at a shop haha. i also keep my ticket w/ return from schipol to amsterdam that i got on my last day in amsterdam in january. dunno why i keep it but i do. maybe im a pack rat.

I don't bother putting my euros in a wallet since they rarely last more than a few hours in Amsterdam.

Normally no, but this time round I scraped up every last penny and cashed them in for € at the bank, also found €10 in my wallet from last trip and some €coins. So for an hours scraping, I made about $30

.

Which bought me:

1 joint of Tazman haze €3.50
1grm of zerozero €5
1grm of outdoor €5
Lots of food!
