I mean, it exists on social media (so there’s that). There was a case where an American woman screamed at a French baker for refusing a crisp $20 bill as payment despite the fact she’s literally in France (where Euros are used as the main currency).
The stupidest one was from where an American guy was arrested in the UK for having open carry (firearms) where gun laws are strict, him using the excuse of “I don’t know the laws around here” didn’t work since he should’ve researched that beforehand.
This happens depressingly often, especially in touristy areas.
Indeed. I once overheard a American say to his wife “whats with these Euros? Why cant they just accept dollars here”
I cant even pay with Swiss Francs in the airport in Barcelona.
Little did they know, Euro is WORTH MORE than US Dollars at face value as reflected by the exchange rate. A 200€ (~$235) note is higher than $100, and there is a 500€ (~$589) note (although no longer in circulation) but nethertheless it still exists & definitely more than a $100 bill.
I enjoyed this word.
It’s a typo, sorry. Anyway, even though the 500€ note is considered obscure: can high end stores accept that as payment? Euros makes USD ook cheap since most of their physical notes from the USD are the same size & look bland. Euro bank notes look colorful in comparison. I would say it’s difficult to counterfeit Euro than US Dollars (especially the $100 bill is prone to fakes).
It may have been but I did a interweb search on it and turns out, its a old timey way of saying “nevertheless” and I enjoyed learning that. So thanks.
