Daniel A Posted August 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Banks in the US generally do not sell Euro Coinage, only paper currency which makes the smallest Euro denomination €5. I want to get some one- and two-Euro coins as sometimes €5 is too much to tip a porter, waiter etc. When on cruise excursions and at foreign ports, banks are not generally accessible or easy to find. Does anybody know how to get €1 and €2 coins in advance of leaving the U.S.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted August 10, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Ask friends, family and neighbors? If I can’t gather a handful that way I usually stop in the airport and buy something like a water or snack and use the largest denomination I am carrying. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplelife Posted January 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2023 That popular auto club has "tip packs" of euro coins. Not all locations have them, but you can call or look on their website to see where they do, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBoozeCruise Posted September 10, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Where in Europe is €5 too much to tip? Bring notes, buy a small item and get change asking for coins. €50 is the most common note and you can use it to buy something inexpensive like gum or coffee from anywhere no problem. Just a quick update. European and American wages are similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
