Euros – What Money Do The Dutch Use?
Comments OffFourteen other European countries besides Holland make use of the Euro for their currency.
The Euro, for those not in the know is made up of one hundred cents. The coins are separated into 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents and the Euro comes 1’s and 2’s. There are also euro notes of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 denominations.If you do travel to Holland it is good to remember that there are a couple of shops that won’t accept large denominations.
Before the Euro, the Dutch made use of the Dutch Guilder, but this is no longer used and is rendered nil and void.
When you travel to Holland you will find it useful in that you will be able to exchange your money almost anywhere, but the post offices normally offer the best rate of exchange for your money. Hotels are renowned to have a high exchange rate and the banks are not particularly fast.
The Dutch prefer if you use cash as opposed to credit cards, and you will find that not all place accept credit cards, although this attitude seems to be changing.
ATM cards are useful when drawing money or making purchases in Holland, so watch out for the Maestro logo displayed on ATM machines.
