USD to EUR exchange rate, chart

Dear Barbara, thank you for a question. I would recommend you to speak with your bank if the credit or debit card you have will work in Europe and check the fees. The best way to travel is with credit card, because the exchange rates are the best.

But if you want to have cash with you, when you'll be in Europe, Hungary or Czech Republic, then you'll be able easily to exchange US dollars to Euros, Forints and Korunas. I don't think that it is worth to exchange currency in the US. Just take with you US dollars and exchange them when you need in Europe. Also, combine it with your card. Don't forget that you'll be able to withdraw money from ATMs in Europe. There are many currency exchanges in those countries, just avoid to exchange at airports where the exchange rates and fees are ridiculous.

The exchange rates you're able to check in the following links:

- US dollars to euros here: USD to EUR exchange rates and USD to EUR converter

Nico, thank you for a question. It’s hard to say which currency is the most reliable and stable for your own personal capital, yet the smartest thing to do would be to choose the currencies that are acknowledged as the most secure and popular in the world. If you own particularly large amount of money, you should do a better research and hire a financial consultant who would analyze which currencies are the best for your savings and determine what meets your needs. Some of the currencies that are considered to be the most secure are: Norwegian krone, euro, US dollar, Swiss franc, Swedish krona, British pound, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen.

Ted, the best idea would be to possess Thailand’s local currency - Thai baht, you’ll be able to exchange dollars or euros when you arrive, because there are plenty of currency exchange points in Thailand. However, I would recommend taking the money out of the cash machine: it will be safer and the exchange rate will be better. If you’re only interested in getting advice on whether to bring US dollars or euros, then I would suggest choosing dollars. Good luck!

Paul, there is always a possibility that this could happen and more and more people are starting to talk about it. It is influenced by a wide range of factors. I suggest analysing the situation based on these facts:

• The economy of the United States is very strong at the moment.
• A responsible US FED’s approach to raising interest rates cautiously.
• The investors start to acknowledge USA.
• The euro zone is not entirely stable at the moment (Roughly speaking - low interest rate (it’s unclear when when will it rise), Germany recession, refugees, terrorism).

There is no way telling when would euro become equal to US dollar, but it’s very possible if the situation in the eurozone doesn’t improve. You should keep track of out currency news in order to gain a better understanding of the future prospects.
