TODAY’S POLL

LAST POLL RESULTS

40.5% of you voted Sometimes I save a few memorable bills or coins. in Friday’s poll: Do you ever keep foreign currency from places you’ve traveled?

“I’ve just started traveling internationally, so it’s fun to collect these memories.”

“It’s fun to open a drawer and see the foreign currency and be reminded of my journeys and the people I was traveling with.”

“We don’t have a lot of it, and most of it has little value, but it’s nice to have a souvenir. We may never travel that way again, so it’s fun to have a little remembrance.”

“And anything interesting that turns up in my change here!”

“Sometimes I save one or two bills just because it’s nice. However, on this last trip, I came back with far more than I wanted. When I got home, I opened a book and found some of the bills inside. Oops.”

“I kept one of each bill and coin from a school trip to Australia in my teens. My dad was pissed but let me keep all of them lol.”

“I save them and put them in my home safe in an envelope to be given to a grandson at my passing. He has always loved collecting foreign coins and paper money.”

“I SAVE A LOT OF THINGS.”

“More by oversight than by intent to keep.”

“I have monies left over from most trips.”

“I started collecting in 1963 when I was laid up with knee surgery.”

“I am particular about collecting currency.”

“I keep it to use the next time I go. Makes life easier.”

“I actually keep it, so I can use it the next time I’m there, especially if the exchange rate was good at the time.”

“I try to keep some euros on hand for the next trip, so I have enough for a cab and dinner. The next day, I usually scout out an ATM with low exchange rates. (Not as a souvenir.)”

“I keep it because I anticipate traveling there again. When my daughter traveled last year, I had euros to get her started on her trip!”

“I rarely travel internationally, only on cruises. The foreign currency I have was given to me by family members.”

“I don’t travel internationally. The couple of times, 25 years ago, that I was in Grand Cayman, Mexico, and Jamaica, I used US dollars. If I ever travel abroad and end up with foreign currency, though, I’d keep it as a souvenir.”

“Only domestic for me!”
