I have not heard this at all. I sure hope that my dollar is good for the tourism I'm sending over. You should be fine. Keep us posted! I've only heard of this bank gouging in France.

Is that the case now? Would an American check work? A money order? Traveler's check? (I don't have credit cards.) I want to pay her back; doesn't sound like she has much of anything. Alternatively, I could send her something from the USA for a collection, I suppose? Ideas?
