Currency in German Speaking Countries

Depending on which German speaking country you visit, you’ll encounter different currencies. In this post you’ll learn mostly about the German currency, since this is where I have the most experience. However I also want to give you a heads up about Switzerland and Liechtenstein’s currency in this section.

Money in Germany & Austria

In Germany, Austria and much of Europe, the currency is the Euro (€) with the ‘cent’ as the unit.

Euro banknotes are available as: 200 €, 100 €, 50 €, 10 € and 5 €. Note how the Euro symbol (€) always appears after the number unlike dollars and pounds.

Euro and cents coins are available as: 2 €, 1 €, 50c, 20c, 10c, 5c, 2c and 1c.

The Euro was introduced in Germany and Austria in 2002. Prior to this Germany’s currency was the Deutsche Mark (DM) and Austria’s currency was the Schilling (S)

If you’re fortunate enough to travel to Europe regularly, you’ll get quite used to using the Euro. But be aware that not all countries in Europe use the Euro. This includes the German speaking countries Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

In Switzerland and Liechtenstein the currency is the Swiss Franc (CHF). However Liechtenstein does accept Euros.

How to Talk About Money in German

In order to talk about money in German, you first need to familiarise yourself with the German numbers . Once you have a basic understanding of how numbers work in German, you can have a bit of fun talking about money in German.

The format used in spoken German for money follows the same pattern as in English:

Note how when we use Euros, we never use a plural, so we could say 1 € (ein Euro) or 100 € (einhundert Euro) .

If we are using both Euros and cents, the format is again similar to English. However unlike in English where we might leave out the word ‘dollar’ or ‘pound’, the word Euro is always used. Here’s an example:

Money in German: Paying with Cash

If you’re heading to Germany, one thing you’ll notice early on is how common it is to use cash. Despite the rise in popularity of paying by card, in Germany many people prefer to use cash instead of cards.

Regardless of whether you’re hitting the tourist spots, or going off the beaten path, you’ll regularly discover cafés and small businesses which only accept cash so it’s a good idea to always have some cash with you.

Money in German: Paying by Card

Many places in Germany do accept credit or debit cards as a form of payment particularly Mastercard or Visa. However it’s always wise to check beforehand. A great phrase to remember is:

Different banks may have various charges for paying abroad, so it’s important to check what charges you may be subject to before you travel.

My bank’s charges are horrendous, so I use a Revolut card instead of my normal bank card for travel. You preload your Revolut card (a Mastercard, so widely accepted) and get some of the best exchange rates.

There are no hidden charges and you can either use it in the same way as a debit card, or use it at an ATM to withdraw local currency easily and for free, at the best exchange rates available for that day.

I wouldn’t be without mine now as it means I don’t have to bring much cash with me, and can instead just withdraw cash as I need it. Click here to get your Revolut card for free .

A note on the EC-Karte

The EC-Karte , also known as the Girocard is a common debit card in Germany. This is a debit card which you can get if you have German bank account, so if you’re just heading to Germany for travel this won’t be an option for you.

The reason I mention it is because you’ll likely encounter businesses which accept the EC-Karte or cash, but not Visa or Mastercard. In fact, this exact thing happened to me at the end of my last trip to Germany, when I’d run out of cash:

At the time I hadn’t actually heard of the EC-Karte , so I said alles gut, danke (alright, thank you) and left to find another café. It was only after a bit of googling that I learned about the EC-Karte , so I thought it was important to let you know about it too.

Taxpayers will be forced to cover £85bn of losses made by the Bank of England on its quantitative easing programme, estimates suggest. 

The £895bn bond-buying scheme was carried out between 2009 and 2021, and had aimed to support the UK during economic shocks - but it has been blamed by some for allowing inflation to take root. 

Recent chancellors have agreed to indemnify the Bank against any losses on the scheme - meaning the taxpayer will be paying for them.

Greene King is moving from its 200-year-old brewery in Bury St Edmunds. 

The pub chain will be opening a new £40m facility in a town that will produce more modern, fizzy craft beers alongside its traditional cask ales. 

The majority of Greene King's brewing will be moved to the new site, as part of a wider shift away from traditional cask beers. 

It will take about three years to complete. 

Butlin's has launched legal action against its insurance company Aviva over who foots a £60m bill.

The holiday park operator's Minehead resort was forced to close in September 2023 because of flooding caused by heavy rainfall.

It has said the incident cost the business £60m and has filed a claim at the High Court against Aviva for not covering the entire bill.

In legal documents seen by  The Telegraph , Butlins have questioned the definition of a "storm" and argued that a "named storm" had not been declared when the flooding happened.

Oil traders working for the US firm Exxon Mobil Corp in Brussels could lose their job if they refuse to move to London, according to reports.

Under the new proposal employees moving to the UK capital would be expected to be in the office five days a week.

But traders working for the oil giant said in an internal union-led survey they did not want to move to London due to "uncompetitive" pay and a "lack of flexibility", a union statement reads, according to  Bloomberg .

Up to 37 trading employees now face having their contracts terminated as a result of this.

ExxonMobil has said it "remains open to resolving the situation".

The sports retailer is introducing tagging sprays across its stores nationwide as part of a ramping up of security measures. 

It will start using SelectaDNA sprays, which can be misted on property and criminals. 

The sprays work by leaving a synthetic DNA and UV marker which does not wash off and can be used to link assets to owners and criminals to crime scenes. 

JD Sports said the measure was in response to a significant increase in shoplifting in UK.

In particular, it said it had seen a rise in "steaming" - where large gangs run into stores, threaten staff with violence and then run off with armfuls of stolen products.

The SelectaDNA spray reportedly does not cause any harm or damage to skin, clothing or property.

Lidl plans to open hundreds more supermarkets across Britain.

The German discount chain, which is now the UK's sixth biggest supermarket, is targeting thousands of new shoppers as it continues its expansion.

It currently has about 960 stores but is targeting more than 1,100 across England, Wales and Scotland.

In the coming months, the chain will welcome shoppers to new stores across the country, from Bristol, Birmingham and Berwick in Scotland. 

In London, it will be opening new stores in Wandsworth, Fulham, Hoxton and Canning Town.

But it says it is eyeing growth in more locations. If it successfully finds a good location, it is willing to pay a finder's fee of 1.5% of the total freehold purchase price, or 10% of the first year's rent for leaseholds, which would equate to £22,500 for a completed £1.5m site purchase.

A finder's fee can be paid to any member of the public who identifies a suitable site for it to open a new store.

Richard Taylor, Lidl Great Britain's chief development officer, said the company was "continuing to invest in new locations whilst exploring innovative routes to expansion".

"As we look ahead, we're excited to welcome even more new shoppers to our existing stores, as well as those we're planning to open across the country in the coming months and years," he said.

Mortgage approvals rose to 61,300 in March - the highest number since September 2022.

They had been at 60,500 in February, according to the Bank of England.

While this is positive, industry experts are reporting that uncertainty over the direction of interest rates this year is prompting caution.

Mortgage rates have risen in the last few weeks as markets went from pricing in a base rate cut in June to thinking it may be August.

US inflation proving stubborn has led to concern here that the path to the 2% target may be bumpy - meaning the base rate may have to stay high in order to constrain spending and thus ease price rises.

Forecasts of three cuts this year from the current 5.25% have been scaled back to two.

Hina Bhudia, partner at Knight Frank Finance, said: "The sun is out and buyers are returning from their Easter break, so we'd usually expect these to be the busy weeks before the summer; however, the uncertain outlook for mortgage rates will undoubtedly weigh on activity.

"It's not just buyers that are frustrated. The lenders are eager to rebuild their businesses after a subdued 2023; however, they are constrained by stubborn inflation and the resulting impact on their cost of funding."

Following Sainsbury's boss Simon Roberts' claim that Britons like self-checkouts...

...we asked Money blog readers, and followers of our LinkedIn page , for their views.

While our inbox was filled with a lot of hate for self-checkouts, our poll of 2,613 people on LinkedIn shows that, overall, Mr Roberts was right...

We have rounded up some of your views here...

Self-checkout is the worst thing to ever happen. Standing like a child with your hand up, one person running up and down to deal with this, underpaid and understaffed. Janice Karaaziz, Money reader

I'll go out of my way to find a cashier, largely because my five-year-old will make a beeline for pressing the scales. I've noticed my local store having fewer and fewer cashiers on - and on many occasions there have been none. We need to think about inclusivity here. There will be some customers who will need a cashier for various reasons, so would expect there to always be at least one on, so stores are accessible for everyone. KaraS, LinkedIn

I try and limit my social interactions as much as possible, out of choice, so most of the time self-checkouts are convenient. Alasdair Corton, LinkedIn

They induce a level of irritation. Sometimes I can be heard answering them back. In general I choose to have my items flung at me by Lidl checkout staff. Siobhan W, LinkedIn

Self-checkout provides a great alternative to customers, especially those with smaller quantity purchases, but personally I think it's sad to see them dominate the front of Sainsbury's stores. In my opinion, it's the removal of one of the greatest ways to provide good customer service. Tom Tregay, LinkedIn

Self-checkouts are great, I will always choose to use one instead of a normal checkout. Some are easier to use than others, the Co-op and Tesco have easy-to-use interfaces whereas Morrisons is a bit more complicated. They'll evolve over time and there's always staff to help out. CG, LinkedIn

They're useful, but when they trigger a "basket check" on nearly every single shop, they begin to lose attractiveness Nicola Bradley, LinkedIn

I tend to argue with them lol. Especially when I can't get it to scan a particular item or you need approval for something so you have to wait for assistance anyway! Plus as a disabled customer I have to juggle my crutch, shopping, scanning and packing. With reduced staff in shops you can't always get the help you actually need. Elizabeth Graney, LinkedIn

Definitely not. So when I go to Sainsbury's I see a lot of older people and no way do they want to use self-checkouts. My mother lives in assisted living and all of them say they hate them. Get a grip, Simon - they are not faster, they are saving you employing more staff. I know my aunt has stood at an Asda til they put a staff member on there. Andrea Robinson, LinkedIn

Robots should never replace humans. Interaction is essential... if machines replace people no one will work, it's a crazy dangerous road. Nicola van Eerten, LinkedIn

The self-checkout is a money-saving exercise. They cut back everywhere. No staff on the shop floor to help. Paper bags in the veg section now cost 30p - for absolutely no reason. Mark, Money reader

Average advertised rents have hit a new high in the UK, according to Rightmove .

Across Britain, excluding London, the average monthly rent being asked for a property coming on the market in the first quarter of 2024 was £1,291, the property website found. This was 8.5% higher than a year earlier.

The average advertised rent in London also hit a fresh high in the first quarter of 2024 at £2,633 per month but this was just £2 higher than the average asking rent in the fourth quarter of 2023.

While average rents have climbed, the property website says there are signs that the pace of the increases is slowing.

There are also indications that more landlords are having to reduce their asking rents, particularly for bigger homes, to meet what tenants can afford.

Rightmove's director of property science, Tim Bannister, said the rental market was "no longer at peak boiling point" but it "remains at a very hot simmer".

The index rose by 0.3% to 8,174 points at the open.

Only real estate stocks were proving any kind of drag.

Among the companies leading the gainers was HSBC.

It climbed by more than 2.6% in London after the Asia-focused bank announced a rise in shareholder awards despite a slight drop in quarterly profits.

The share price reaction also reflected news that chief executive Noel Quinn is to retire - read the full story of that here ...

Among the other gainers in early dealing was Whitbread.

The Premier Inn owner's annual results revealed a sharp rise in annual profits but also a new focus on hotel investment at the expense of its restaurant brands.

That was placing 1,500 jobs at risk, it warned - read the full story here ...

We first came across Tom McPhail when he posted this on X... 

The pensions expert appeared to be suggesting state pensions were at risk of disappearing.  

After speaking to him on the phone, he confirmed that was exactly his concern, warning something needed to be done sooner rather than later to avoid a "catastrophic" situation.  

He described state pensions as a social contract – each generation pays taxes and national insurance, which funds the pensions of today's older people, and they hope the following generation will do the same for them.

But with population growth slowing, there's a worry there may simply not be enough people to keep the system afloat in the future.  

"There's a significant demographic shift going on in the UK. It started before the Second World War, cohorts of people born in the 1930s have been experiencing significantly longer lives than was the case prior to that, so people now in their 80s are living quite a lot longer," he said. 

"But at the same time, we've got fewer children coming through. And so this exacerbates the shift in the age of the population."

He said if he was 20 today, he would be "sceptical" about the promise of a state pension because he isn't sure how it's going to be paid for.  

At the moment, the state pension system costs around £120bn a year and more than half of retired people rely on it to make up at least 50% of their income, he added.  

Over the next 50 years, Tom predicts the proportion of GDP the state spends on older people will increase from around 16% to 25%.  

"I hesitate to use the word unsustainable, but it will certainly start to look challenging," he said.  

"If we suddenly switched off the state pension or significantly reduced it, people would be in trouble, so the government can’t do that. 

"You can't keep on progressively ratcheting up a more and more generous state pension. The costs of state pensions is going to become increasingly difficult for the younger cohorts to bear."

He pointed to a few ways to potentially salvage the state pension – policy change, more babies being born or people working until they are in their 70s.  

"Politicians are going to have to make decisions about how to get out of this kind of political bind," Tom added. 

"Time and time again it's just kick the can down the road on the pension question, just put a sticking plaster on it and let the next government deal with the problem. 

"You can't keep doing that. So I would really like to see, on the other side of this forthcoming general election... whoever's in power, in collaboration with whoever's in opposition, to just really open it up to some honest conversations about where the demographics are going to take us." 

He does note there is one piece of good news: "This happens quite slowly, so we do have time on our side." 

Basically, swap rates dictate the pricing of fixed-rate mortgages.

Lenders, such as banks and building societies, borrow in order to lend.

They borrow from financial markets and often these transactions are made using Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) swap rates, which can move around.

By contrast, most domestic mortgages are set on what is known as a "term" rate – in other words, the borrower knows how much interest they will be paying for a set period of time.

To avoid a situation where the SONIA rate goes above the rate it is charging borrowers, which would leave the bank or building society lending at a loss, the lender will seek to enter a "swap" arrangement which protects them from such a situation.

Under such agreements, two parties exchange cash flows with each other. The lending bank will swap the variable payments it may make to service a mortgage (which is fixed to the SONIA rate) for payments at a fixed rate. This insulates the lending bank from unexpected increases in the SONIA rate.

Once a deal is struck based on the swap rate, mortgage providers set their fixed deals for customers, with their own profit margin priced in.

How are swap rates decided?

Swap rates are based on what the markets think will happen to interest rates in the future.

When they go up, so do the rates being offered on the high street, as we have seen in the last week or two amid uncertainty over whether forecasts for a summer base rate cut are accurate.

Meta's median pay for employees is $379,000 a year

• The median employee at Meta earned over $379,000 in 2023, according to a recent filing.
• This figure is significantly higher than many tech jobs, though on par with rivals like Google and Amazon.
• Meta has laid off workers and is spending billions on AI.

If you're a tech worker at Meta, you probably make out pretty well for yourself.

That's according to a recent SEC filing , where the company stated that its median employee made just over $379,000 in 2023.

Meta employs around 67,000 people, according to the filing, so there's bound to be considerable variation.

Related stories

An Insider analysis previously found that higher-level software engineers and researchers at the company tend to make more in base pay than product designers and user experience professionals.

Nevertheless, Meta's median figure is substantially higher than the average tech position, which tends to fall between $35,000 to $120,000 depending on the role, according to data listed by one recruitment firm.

But within the world of Big Tech, Meta's median salary isn't as eye-popping as it might seem . Industry giants like Google and Amazon also have positions that regularly offer well above $300,000 in compensation.

The same filing noted that CEO Mark Zuckerberg 's total compensation in 2023 was $24.4 million.

Most came from security and logistical costs since the Facebook cofounder took home a salary of just $1 last year. (Of course, most of Zuckerberg's $157 billion net worth is tied up in his stock options .)

Even with such attractive compensation, it doesn't mean that working at Meta is becoming any easier.

Earlier this year, Zuckerberg told employees that, going forward, the company will make its so-called "Year of Efficiency" — the drive to maximize productivity by stepping up performance reviews and layoffs — the permanent state of affairs .

The company has cut 22% of its staff since 2022 with no end in sight . Meta reported strong earnings in its latest quarterly call , but also doubled down on Zuckerberg's plan to spend billions more on AI, spooking investors.

Trump on political violence in 2024: 'If we don't win, you know, it depends'

F ormer President Donald Trump said in a new interview with Time Magazine that he doesn't think there will be political violence around the 2024 election because he believes he'll win — but that it "always depends on the fairness of an election."

The comments came along with a statement that Trump would "consider" pardoning every person who has been charged or convicted for rioting at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after the then-president rallied his followers against what he has repeatedly and baselessly called a "rigged" election.

Trump also answered questions digging into his campaign position on abortion policy being left up to the states — and deflecting questions pressing him on any potential federal action, including his position on whether abortion medication should be available. And Trump reinforced past statements he has made on Russia doing “whatever the hell they want” to NATO countries who don’t pay their “fair share” and the extent of a military crackdown he plans to order on illegal immigration.

When Trump was asked in an initial interview about the prospect for more political violence in 2024, after the events following the 2020 election, he said no. "I think we're gonna have a big victory. And I think there will be no violence," Trump said.

But asked in a follow-up conversation about what will happen if he doesn't win, Trump was equivocal.

"Well, I do think we're gonna win," Trump answered. "We're way ahead. I don't think they'll be able to do the things that they did the last time, which were horrible. Absolutely horrible. So many, so many different things they did, which were in total violation of what was supposed to be happening. And you know that and everybody knows that. We can recite them, go down a list that would be an arm’s long. But I don't think we're going to have that. I think we're going to win. And if we don't win, you know, it depends. It always depends on the fairness of an election."

Trump also said that he'd be reluctant to hire people for a second administration who thought President Joe Biden won the 2020 election: "I wouldn’t feel good about it," he said.

On the people charged and convicted for violent acts as Congress was preparing to certify the 2020 election results on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump complained that they've faced a "two-tier system" but, when pressed, said, "I would consider that, yes," when asked if he'd consider pardoning every single person prosecuted for their actions on Jan. 6.

'The states are going to have to be comfortable or uncomfortable, not me'

Trump's rare long-form interview included him talking through his position on leaving abortion policy up to states. When asked directly if he was comfortable with states deciding to punish women who access abortions after the designated state-specific ban, Trump said, “I don’t have to be comfortable or uncomfortable. The states are going to make that decision. The states are going to have to be comfortable or uncomfortable, not me.”

Then, asked if women’s pregnancies should be monitored by state governments to ensure they don’t get abortions after a certain timeline ban, Trump furthered, "I think they might do that. Again, you’ll have to speak to the individual states.”

Trump also dodged on the question of whether women should have access to abortion pills. As the interviewer noted that Republican allies of Trump have called "for enforcement of the Comstock Act, which prohibits the mailing of drugs used for abortions by mail," Trump said he will be making a statement later but declined to outline his position.

"I will be making a statement on that over the next 14 days," Trump said. In the follow-up interview on April 27, Time noted that Trump had not yet made the statement even though two weeks had passed.

"I’ll be doing it over the next week or two," Trump said. "But I don't think it will be shocking, frankly. But I'll be doing it over the next week or two."

Trump recently said that it should also be individual state's who determine the penalty of doctor's who perform abortions outside state law. He labeled a question about what he'd do on potential federal legislation on abortion a hypothetical "because it won't happen. You're never going to have 60 votes."

'I can see myself using the National Guard and, if necessary, I’d have to go a step further'

When asked about immigration, Trump reiterated a consistent campaign promise to utilize the U.S. military to remove undocumented immigrants from the country.

And Trump said he'd be willing to utilize other parts of the U.S. military besides the National Guard to address issues inland as well as the border, saying, “I can see myself using the National Guard and, if necessary, I’d have to go a step further." When the interviewer noted the law preventing the deployment of the military against civilians, Trump claimed undocumented immigrants weren't civilians and said: "These are people that aren’t legally in our country. This is an invasion of our country."

Trump has previously vowed to relocate thousands of overseas U.S troops to the southern border to crack down on border security as well as promising to terminate “every open border policy of the Biden administration.”

Trump also floated the idea of migrant detention camps calling it a "possibility" but something he hopes, "we shouldn’t have to do very much of."

At the core of Trump's immigration promises over the last year is the utilization of local law enforcement, though policy specifics surrounding the idea have been scarce.

When asked to clarify, Trump proposed “police immunity from prosecution” and left the door open to possible incentives from the federal government for state and local police departments.

'If you’re not going to pay, then you’re on your own'

On international affairs, Trump once again dug in on recent comments that Russia could “do whatever the hell they want” to NATO countries who do not “pay up” what he deems appropriate military expenses.

Trump told Time, “Yeah, when I said that, I said it with great meaning, because I want them to pay. I want them to pay up. That was said as a point of negotiation. I said, Look, if you’re not going to pay, then you’re on your own. And I mean that."

Trump also backed up comments that he wouldn’t give “give a penny” to Ukraine unless other European countries started supporting Ukraine in “equalizing” amounts.

"I said I wouldn't give unless Europe starts equalizing," Trump said. "They have to come. Europe has to pay. We are in for so much more than the European nations. It's very unfair to us. And I said if Europe isn't going to pay, who are gravely more affected than we are. If Europe is not going to pay, why should we pay?"

Trump also conceded that a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine looks “very, very tough," and he said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has "rightfully" been criticized for the fact that Hamas was able to attack Israel on Oct. 7.
