[Idyllchat] Euros and ATM in Italy

[Sabre47 at aol.com]

Just another small point, our bank does charge fees at foreign ATM's but  
only after 4 withdrawals so if you plan it right there's no fees either.   We 
didn't want to change banks at this time so this was good for us.

I  obtained some euros by advertising in our community newsletter. 
Everyone  who returns from Europe always has a few euros left, 
especially coins, and  they were glad to sell them to me at the Wall 
Street posted rate. If you  don't get a few ahead of time, use the ATM 
machine at the airport, or at  any bank. Our apartment was near 
Buenconvento, which had a couple of banks  with ATM machines. I use my 
brokerage account ATM card because they refund  ALL fees, which make 
using ATMs the most affordable method of obtaining  euros. Also, 
primarily for international travel, I obtained a Capital-One  credit 
card because they do NOT charge a currency exchange fee for  
processing foreign charges.
