The currency used in the Netherlands is the Euro ...... Euros are
divided into 100 cents. There are coins of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents,
and 1 and 2 euros. There are notes of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500
euros. Please note that some shops do not accept large denomination
notes.The Dutch Guilder is no longer usable, and no longer can be
exchanged for Euro.We find it easy to use as there is 100 euro cents to
1 Euro.As of Feb. 2006., there was 1.25 Euro to the US dollar.There are
many places to change money in town. Post Offices usually give the best
rates. The GWK at Central station is also good. Compare rates carefully
at the exchange offices in town. Hotels are usually an expensive way to
change money. Banks can be slow. There's an American Express on the
Damrak, and a Thomas Cook on the Dam.Credit cards are not as widely
accepted in the Netherlands as in many other lands, but it's getting
steadily better. Always enquire first if you intend to pay by credit
card.If you have an ATM card. a card for getting money out of a machine
in the wall, it will most likely work in the Netherlands, so you don't
need to take traveller's cheques. Check with your bank before leaving
though. Such cards, certainly if they have a Maestro logo on them, can
often also be used for direct debit payments in shops, shops that
display the blue "PIN" sign.Like in all big cities the world round,
there are cheats looking for an easy target. A typical trick in less
reputable establishments is, if you pay with a note, to give you change
as if you tendered a note of one denomination smaller. For instance to
give you change for 50 euros if you give them a 100 euro note, and then
pretend it was a mistake if you notice. The best way to avoid this
happening is to speak the value of the note as you hand it over, "100
euros", so they can't claim not to have noticed ......
