Very odd question... it must be a joke. If you are buying Euros outside of Europe, then you won't look like a local European. Even getting a lot of Euros in Europe will make you look like a visitor, as locals don't use cash for most purposes - credit cards or bank transfers are the usual methods of payment.

Well actually you need to start with an European backpack.

Well Edward2005 may be fooling with us, but Kathie's response is simply wrong... at least for Germany. Cash is still king here, and it's not unusual to pay for a meal in a restaurant with a 500€ note. Merchants don't bat an eye. Credit card fees to merchants were so high in the past that most merchants just refused to use them. Recently those fees have been reduced, so more merchants are using them, but it isn't a lighting-quick response. More stores accept them, but not all. For instance, even in my local Media Mart (electronics store), you have to buy a large amount, I think it was over 300€, before they will put it on a regular credit card.
Of course the EC card, which works as a debit card and not a credit card, is widely accepted, even in grocery stores. But most English-speaking tourists won't have one of those.
