Hi,

Also at some smaller tourist attractions they may appreciate exact change ( and occassionally they have offered to exchange 1 or 2 euro coins for a 10 or 20 euro note

( also good for tipping housekeeping in hotels etc ) or some pay w.c's if you are out and about

If travelling by air, it might be worthwhile to keep the change in a separate ( coin bag) and take it out and place it separately in the tray for security ( ie beside your toiletry bag) as sometimes it shows up as a blob and could cause your hand baggage to be sent to secondary screening

Regards
