Yep! Funny story - I was in Germany a few years ago and wanted a soda with ice so I went to a McDonalds. The American in front of me ordered a Big Mac and Coke and was told how much it was - in Euros. He only had a $20 bill (American) and demanded to pay with AMERICAN money! The cashier took the $20 for the payment, smiled, and said "Danke Schoen". The American took the Big Mac and Coke, turned to me and said, "See, American money talks". He never figured he paid about $13 too much for that lunch!
