I thank you all for reinforcing that I did the right thing and that it's not wrong to take a margin on the exchange. I now have EUR25, including the leftovers from the side trip to Paris last summer.
Cheryl brings GBP coins back and sells them to my mother and stepfather at cost (they make the coins into cut-coin jewelery), but my mom always rounds it up so Cheryl makes a small profit on the deal -- besides, it's always less expensive than it would be to go through a coin dealer.
