I traveled to a few European countries back in 2005 and had some random change left after my trip that I never did anything with. I came across that money today. It's Hungarian forints, Czech koruny, and Euros. I used a currency converter and determined that all together they add up to a little over $14 total.

Should I even bother trying to get this money converted? I think I tried once and the US Bank (in Missouri) told me they charge a fee and have to have it shipped out, counted, and shipped back. I think that's why I've never done it before, wasn't worth the hassle.

Now that I live in Vegas, I would assume getting money converted would be easier, but I honestly have no idea where I could go to do this.

Should I try it? $14 is still $14.....

No.

Eh, the souvenir thing doesn't really work for me. I have plenty of pics/memories/CDs of my group's performances to remember my trip....

I guess I should have been more clear, the US Bank in MO charged a fee, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any places in Vegas (other than banks) where I could convert currency.

Cool ty! Even if the fee is high, it's still basically "free" money to me since I haven't used it since 2005...

if i might ask,do you have any large size metal money from there? the reason i am asking is i am building a tobacco pipe for my son out of a cow leg bone,an old brass urn and some .357 casings. while i don't expect most of OT to appreciate all the pieces to build an awesome pipe, i DO know we are an eclectic bunch!! so just askin'.

Keep it to remember your trip.

Not sure what qualifies as "large size metal money" I have coins, but none are much larger than a U.S. half dollar coin.

I havent exchanged foreign money for a long time but the last time i did i remember getting significantly less for coinage than i did for bills. like just a small percent of its actual worth.

My step dad is in the military so I lived in Germany for 3 years, and we vacationed in France and Italy. It was a blast.

I get so happy when I hear people have had the chance to go because its so fun and an awesome experience.

We were in Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Austria. I would love to go back, esp to Prague and Vienna.

(Don't tell anyone about that last part... lol)
