When you buy stuff in France that was imported from the US... don't you pay in Euros and price set in Euros? BOb |

Well, as an American I don't have that problem. Also, I have delt with buying stuff from over there. A few places were able to display the price in US$ using a dynamic web page. There was usually an asterisk next to the US price that stated it was based on current exchange rates and your CC/Bank may use a slightly different rate. BOb |

Oh yes, I fully appreciate the reason why. As Europeans, we are used to dealing with people in other countries and with other currencies (especially in pre-Euro days), and that's something that just doesn't happen in the US. My comment was intended as a factual statement, not in any way as a criticism!

The only coin which fooled me when I first visited the US was the 10c coin, which simply says "ONE DIME" on it, but nowhere tells you what this mysterious "dime" is. I didn't have a clue what it was worth until I asked someone ![]() |
