The Euro versus the $
What is our dollar worth versus the Euro? Going to Ireland soon and need to
figure if my expenses are going to more than I planned, i.e. if the Euro is
better than the dollar.

IMO, the euro and the dollar are "equal" in value as far as a tourist is
concerned. On a first trip to a country, no tourist understands a different
price structure or where to get the very best price, so worrying about 10 or
15% is wasted energy.

the euro is about 6 cents over the dollar, the rates fluctuate daily,
but usually not too radically

Recently the dollar has been worth about 92 euro cents. To get a rough
idea of the cost of things in euro zone countries, multiply the euro
cost by 1.1 to get the dollar cost. For current rates and information

At "home" I hope these people don't spend their entire vacation worrying
about the last 10% of their budget.
Years ago, when I got 3.87 FF to the dollar, it made a difference. But a
few years later I was getting near 10 FF to the dollar. At least the euro
has stayed within +/- 10 or 15% of the dollar for its whole life. That
ought to be close enough for someone who is generally stuck paying tourist
prices in any case.
But the rough equality of euro/dollar doesn't change the fact that some
countries are more/less expensive than others, not matter what currency you
use to describe the price.

I agree with the core idea. Unless one habitually visits a place, it
is difficult to internalise the idea of the value of a currency. An
American in the euro zone might think of the euro as a "big dollar"; I
find that such strategies help me.

Currently the euro is about 10% ahead of the (U.S.) dollar.

I don't find it difficult to add 10% to a price.

I wouldn't be surprised if they will e-mail or message you the rate
periodically; they've got all sorts of services and tools, most of which I
haven't looked at. (I use them for historic rates for income taxes.)
