need euros
 
I will visit Italy soon and would like to have about 100 euros (+ or -) for tips, etc when I arrive.

If you have euros left over from a trip and want to sell them please PM me. We can both save some money compared to paying the administrative fee (usually about $20) to buy/sell at a bank.

I know I can buy at an ATM when I arrive and don't need advice on how to do this. Thanks.

Chase Bank gave me the current rate of exchange with no fee a few weeks ago. We do have several accounts with them, so that may be a perk we receive.

On almost any US bank card you'll pay between $3-$5 maximum per 100 euros by using an ATM in Europe, so I'm not sure if it's worth the extra time and effort.

My nephew is arriving from Germany tomorrow. I can see if he has any in his pocket. But younger folks aren't big on carrying cash, so perhaps not.

Regions does not do that

That has not been my experience when you consider the exchange rate given plus the fee. I use a bank ATM but it is still a poor exchange.

I always bring my ATM card AMD use it in recognizable country banks, not those on tourist center, stores etc. I get a better exchange rate from my bank and a minimum exchange charge at the ATM. Also, when you are going to make a payment using your credit card, always ask to be charged with the country denomination not dollars since they are additional charges hidden in that exchange transaction.

I usually bring a bunch of US small denominational bills. They are very much accepted throughout the world for gratuity's and pay for everything else with a credit card that has no transaction fees

Euros
 
We just spent a week in Rotterdam and spent 2 euros for the entire time.
If you have a credit card that you can tap then almost everything is available including transportation.
We spent the $20 fee for 250 euros and used just 2. Th rest we will save for next year or to give to our son.

They no longer do that.

Thank you to those that responded. I just got home from a nice gentleman (near me) that in his words "I've had these for quite some time. I don't think I'm going back to Europe...." Worked out well for both of us.
