What do you mean my US dollars aren't accepted at any big intl. tourist locations anymore... I have to actually exchange them?
At the risk of being that idiot …..
I’m still annoyed at crossing a border over an international bridge and having to exchange currency to pay the toll. There’s a good argument that situation should support both currencies at that border.
And of course the currency exchange at that toll did not allow exchanging the amount of the toll. Scammy ripoff of people trying to cross forcing them to exchange larger amounts than they need
Oh no I don't find that idiotic, that is very annoying, literally anywhere, between any two countries.
I guess the workaround is to plan ahead and do your currency exchanges before hand, but at least in the US, if you do that in cash, well now you're a drug smuggler or something if you're brown and/or not in the best mood.
I mean, everybody just has the ability to open up bank account debit/credit cards in multiple currencies, right?
Your bank doesn't do currency exchange?
Not my problem, pleb, stay in your geographically confined area with a particular force of monopolized violence.
Bank currency exchange is not available if you don’t know to plan ahead, and may not be convenient ever
There’s usually a $5 or more minimum, so less than that might as well be trash. Not convenient for tolls
The only option at the border was an ATM, where you can withdraw currency, converted from your bank, but in $20 increments.
Toll booths did not take credit cards or bank cards for an exact payment. This was before electronic tolling but that still might not be a thing at borders
