What the americans know about euro
 

What's the general knowledge abou euro (the currency) in the U.S. ? Do the most of the people know the US/EUR exchange rate?

We know the buy more and spend better than $$$:1orglaugh

It's what foreigners use to buy stuff.

I don't think so, actually it would be fair to offer the US surfers a fixed prices in USD and Euro surfers fixed prices in EUR..

Why do you want to screw the US surfer because his currency is screwed..

Seems like patriotism doesn't apply when it's about money :)

The other problem is that billers and softwares have real trouble handling multiple currency products..

earn euro, spend usd. what else do you need to know?

i know that rapid share charges in euros

I think they will recognize when they are paying $45 instead of $30

where is the euro country on a map? is it near europe?

yes I know that a euro is worth about a dollar forty seven, and it was worth about a dollar forty six a few days ago.

I know that it replaced most (all?) currencies in the continent of Europe a few years ago.

not much else. why do you ask?

Ok, thank you

Another question, do you think that a price in euros on a paysite would stop them from buying a membership?

most of them are too stupid to notice that the price is listed in Euros.

and even if they do, they have no idea about the exchange rate.

why would anyone know the exchange rate of a currency if they never have to exchange?

Americans would definitly be scared of buying in other currencies...

Useless thread

this would make many american surfers hesitant, but in my opinion you will make up for that in the people who read 19.95 euros and think they're paying dollars, so they sign up thinking they're getting a good deal.

dunno. I know a pricetag in Euro doesn't stop me.

oh and that map is [:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh] squared

that about sums it all up :thumbsup

And watch as your charge backs increase dramatically

Yeah, we americans are so bad, why don't you foreign webmasters use Geoip and block all U.S. traffic to your site since your morals are a lot better then ours and we are so ignorant. Oh yeah, our money is crap to you as well, you might be doing yourselves a favor by blocking the whole lot of us.

[QUOTE=Megafoo;13413414]Yeah, we americans are so bad, why don't you foreign webmasters use Geoip and block all U.S.

Because Americans buy stuff no one else would.

Thats the point, there is always a lot of U.S. bashing going on here on GFY. But yet most of the same people bitching about it make their living from U.S. customers.

This isn't directed at you, its a general statement.

If they hate us so much, then stop doing business with us. If they don't want to stop doing business with us. Then SHUT THE FUCK UP!

overreact much?

Just a little...

What you said should not be overlooked.

I purchased an upgrade for Nero from their website. When I saw the charge on my credit card they had charged me Euros and there was also a service charge from the bank for making the exchange. I contacted the bank and pointed out that they showed me the upgrade price in U.S. dollars and they had an office in Glendale, CA which leads me to believe I was making the purchase in U.S. currency. The bank agreed and issued a chargeback to Nero.

All that matters is the dollar sunk to a fresh low against the Euro yesterday - $1.4966, tho recovered to around $1.47/48. Like oil hitting $100, the Euro will be $1.50+ in the foreseeable future.

The only other thing to know is, this is not a good thing :winkwink:

precisely

As of 11/24/07 11:00AM
1 Euro = 1.4745 U.S.

and this is representative of the level of maturity and depth of thinking of those who continually bash other countries... be it people from the US or those bashing the US.

you cant be a better place and be a place full of childish idiots at the same time.

I've seen videos where they mention things like "Eurodollar", "Holland Dollar" and even somebody who thought they had "crowns"

The very fact that some people seem to think you can put "dollar" after everything says a lot :1orglaugh

isnt the euro the place where foreigners live?

:1orglaugh

The average American does not even know what the Euro is.

:thumbsup

That is some funny shit! Lighten-up people.

99% of americans could care less about the exchange rate, it has as much relevance to them as the price of IBM stock, or price of cotton on the mercantile exchange...

Hope you are joking woj :) Most folks in the US are already seeing the effect of exchange rates on imports and gonna be feeling that even more next year.

Only my :2 cents: - my US friends know only too well, tho they may not be an "average" sampling - and they sure know what Euros and GBP's are.

A lot of people in the UK do not want the Euro but I guess in the future the Euro will replace the GBP. I like paying for things from the USA at the moment as its so cheap, They said on the news that a lot of English people are going over to the USA to do "Christmas shopping" as it was so much cheaper, I just cant figure out why they say it is cheaper to buy over in the USA after they have paid for thier Air Flights, but buying from the USA online sure is good for us UK people:)
