<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1289091, member: 39&quot;]Guess that depends on what services you use. In regular stores here in Germany you would hardly ever get US dollars back, even if you asked. But places that rely on US visitors will of course accept US dollars if the alternative is &quot;no deal&quot;. And then they may also have US cash that they can give in change.</p><p><br /></p><p>(It&#039;s pretty much the same as when people from overseas say they hardly ever see 1 and 2 cent coins here. Well, the payments they typically make do not require or involve such amounts. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Unfortunately we &quot;regulars&quot; are still stuck with them ...)</p><p><br /></p><p>As for Monaco, I have not noticed that they use &quot;dollars for everything&quot;, but again different experiences may result from different payment habits. In the euro area (and Monaco has a monetary agreement with the EU) I will of course pay in euro, using cash or (since there is no currency fee) plastic. But I am fairly sure that, when you ask whether you can use US dollars, they will gladly accept them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and ... yes, the oil deals mentioned in another reply are usually dollar based. But does anybody seriously believe that American $100 notes, or any other cash, would be used for them? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Nah, but for individuals in various countries (especially those that have been hit by inflation) it makes sense to have cash available in a currency that is (1) common and relatively stable and (2) available in notes that do not &quot;expire&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
