Foreign Cash

Travelling to Scandinavia is a reminder of the old days of different currencies in every country in Europe and gives you an appreciation of the benefits of the Euro for foreign travellers. Have come back with a pocketful of coins, including 17 Norwegian kroner, 24 Swedish kronor, 12 Danish krone, 72 Euro and, strangely, 10 Canadian cents. Of these only the euro are likely to be used again - they used to collect coins at the ferry port and airports but they don't seem to these days, so the rest will just lie in the back of a drawer with the Moroccan dirhim and Greek drachma from previous holidays!
