As I was cleaning, both at home and at work, I found a lot of my spare, leftover, change from my travels—a grand total of 44.75€ in total. The dominate source: the States with 17.09€.
I used to go out of my way to get rid of my excess currency as I left the country of origin, but then I would immediately go back, so keeping the currency is for the return trips. Naturally I haven’t been back to the Czech Republic in a couple of years—not that my 65.6 Koruna would go that far.
| Country | Currency | Amount | Euro Equivalent |
| Armenia | Dram | 4,320 | 8.82 |
| Canada | Dollar | 7.83 | 4.85 |
| Czech Republic | Koruna | 65.5 | 2.66 |
| Mexico | Peso | 51 | 3.07 |
| South African | Rand | 23.50 | 1.88 |
| Swaziland | Rand | 10.15 | 0.81 |
| Turkey | Lyra | 1.50 | 0.72 |
| Ukraine | Hryvnia | 33.47 | 4.27 |
| United Kingdom | Pound | 0.46 | 0.58 |
| United States | Dollar | 27.09 | 17.09 |
Notes: Turkish Lyra: I acquired this because the 1 Lyra coin looks an awful lot like the 2€ coin—apparently machines also have a hard time telling between the two. Rand: The Swazi Rand converts 1:1 to the South African Rand. Ukraine: I have one Kyiv Metro Token in addition to the currency.
Um…. The Swazi currency is the Lilangeni (plural: Emalengeni).
Swaziland is part of the Common Monetary Area that includes South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho, and Namibia. As such, their currency is generally pegged to the South African Rand.
@CQ: uf duh… you are so correct when it comes to Swaziland… I wasn’t thinking. Bad Adam
