Just wanted to share the great deal I found for my upcoming vacation to Europe. I got a $25 loblaws card from the price fixing scandal (Canadians know what I'm talking about) and I traded it for some euros and pounds that someone had leftover from their trip. $44 exchange value, for a gift card I got for free.
Then, someone else was getting rid of euros and loose foreign currency, I paid him $60 cad and I got $120 worth of euros, pounds, swiss francs and polish zlotys after sorting through the huge pile, plus a bunch of other mostly worthless but cool looking coins from around the world. I can use all that money, only problem is that a lot of it is in small coins so it might be a bit of a hassle to spend. Does anyone know if you can walk into a bank in France and exchange loose coins for bills? Otherwise I'll probably just carry it around in small amounts and spend it as I go.
