According to an a Washington Post article this week, the Amsterdam Falafelshop in Adams Morgan recently began to accept the euro and other foreign currencies from European travelers. The owners say they couldn’t afford to turn away these tourists who hadn’t visited a currency exchange or bank yet.

They posted “We Accept Euros” signs with conversion sheets kept near the cash register. Change is returned in dollars.
