Okay, ammending my question...when I cash it in, do I have more money or less money?
Meaning that his order cost $5.00 an he paid 5 euros...what does that equal?

Okay, his order is for $5.00. He should have given me 5 dollar bills. Instead, he gave me 5 euros.

Re: What is a euro equal to in american dollars?
you will get more US dollars for the 5 euros. if 1 euro = $1.45, then 5 euros = $7.25
basically, you ripped him off

Re: What is a euro equal to in american dollars?
He probably didn't know what the exchange rate was, so he figured 5 Euro would cover it. He only needed to give you about 3.50Eur to cover the cost.
FYI - Don't go to England...the GBP is crushing the USD right now!

Re: What is a euro equal to in american dollars?
Yeah but what about any fee that you will have to pay to a bank to exchange the Euros. And why would he pay in Euros? Do you usually accept other currencies as payment for Scholastic Book Orders???

Re: What is a euro equal to in american dollars?
Yeah, but its all relative you know. Salaries in the UK are generally lower than in the US, so someone in a senior management position might make something like £40k, but its not $80K, its still £40K. Houses are still like LI prices, and worse down in that London...For instance, I saw this house locally and I was thinking about buying it...but you know what £7 million is still £7 million. Know what I mean???
