What kind of money should I take for Italy, France and Switzerland?
Hi, I thought I was going to get away with strictly Euros for these three countries but I have been going through the threads and I am getting conflicting information. Some say they are not taking Euros but Swiss Francs in Switzerland. What about France? Euro or French franc? Italy - Euro or lira? Thanks for your help.

Carole:<BR><BR>Euro are the only currency in Italy and France. The Lira and French Franc have gone. Euro bills are widely accepted in Switzerland, especially in the border and tourist areas. As it is not an official currency in Switzerland, the exchange rate at a hotel, restaurant or store will be worse than at a bank. Expect to be given Swiss francs as change.<BR><BR>Enjoy your trip<BR><BR>Phil.

The other replies correctly explained what currencies to USE in each place. But you do not need to TAKE any with you. You can easily get any cash you need in each country from local ATM machines and at a better exchange rate than taking any with you from home.
