<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1088487, member: 39&quot;]All those redemption periods have been published a long time ago, and people around here know about them of course. They will not know by heart which redemption period ends when <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but can easily look them up, or they will at least know the ones that are relevant for them. Italian pre-euro coins can still be redeemed by the way. (The next &quot;deadlines&quot; are in about a year from now, and that will also affect paper money of some countries.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, they may be travelers who on one hand hoard lots of foreign coins but do on the other hand not care about such issues at all. Well, as in other cases, assuming that everything in every country works just like at home has never been helpful. (Had a long discussion with somebody recently who said that tipping in his country is not common so why should he leave a 15-20 percent tip at US restaurants. Well, because things elsewhere may be different ...)</p><p><br /></p><p>I do feel sorry for people who get cheated by merchants. Especially because replacing large coins with smaller varities, as in the UK, is a less &quot;striking&quot; change than replacing franc or mark cash with euro cash. But, if I ever got a driver&#039;s license in the US, would I say the government &quot;cheats&quot; because they need to be renewed every couple of years while I am used to licenses that do not expire? Or, if I wanted to get a newly issued silver coin in the US, would I complain if I cannot get it at face as I can here? Well, I might just do it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
