    Why not have local currency while you’re in a foreign country where why would you assume they would accept your money they would have to go to the bank to exchange?

      Hahahah, imagine going to another country and trying to pay in another currency and being shocked they wouldn’t accept it.

      I can’t even spend Scottish notes in England when it’s all Sterling, never mind trying to pay for a small shop coffee in dollars.

        “It’s USD sir, you’ll need to change it for CAD…”
