What Is a Permitted Currency? A permitted currency is one that is free from any legal and regulatory restrictions that would keep it from being exchanged with or converted into another currency. Countries with permitted currencies benefit from greater access to international trade and global finance.

In many countries, especially those in the English-speaking world, the practice is to place the currency sign before the amount. In other countries, it's placed after the amount. I'd be inclined to always put it before, whatever the currency. Always put a space between the currency code and the numeral: EUR 2,400,000.

The short answer is: Always pay in the local currency (Euros), which allows your bank to set the exchange rate, and it will always be a better option. If you choose to pay in dollars, you get the worst exchange rate from the merchant. Why allow someone else to set the exchange rate?

So let's get this out the way: You should always opt to pay in local currency, and not accept the card machine or ATM's prompt to convert it for you. The reason is that the exchange rate a card terminal will give you is a worse deal than the one your bank would automatically give you.

If you have the chance to pay in local currency or US dollars, always choose local currency! It's the best option and will give you peace of mind that you aren't getting taking advantage of.

Banks, credit unions, and online currency exchange bureaus and converters provide convenient and often inexpensive currency exchange services. Also, your own bank's overseas ATM or a foreign bank's are ways to get local currency with a credit card or ATM card once you have arrived.

While there are some situations where it may make sense to use DCCs, it's usually better to pay in the local currency ? especially if you use a credit card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees.

A blocked currency, also known as a non-convertible currency, is the monetary unit of a country where holders of the currency do not have the right to convert it freely at the going exchange rate into any other currency.

Some common fully convertible currencies include the U.S. dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, and the British pound.
