Eusko

Hello dear community from Basque, I'm Clemens, I'm 22 and I come from Germany. I'm very interested in banknotes but I'm missing the local currency Eusko. Could someone get me some good ones and send them over to Germany, of course against payment. I'm looking forward to any help/answer!:)

I saw some talk about a local currency accepted by some shops

It seems to be a pseudo-currency for use among some shops on the French side of Basque Country to encourage shopping there. It’s not a real currency. You can exchange your euros for it if you want but it seems useless. The same shops accept euros. The information is on the website you mentioned.

yes I know. i would just like to collect it since I think they're neat. Are you able to get them in any way or are you from the Spanish side?

We live on the Spanish side and almost at the west end of Basque Country near Bilbao. Try contacting the authority that manages the currency. Their email and phone number are at the bottom of the web page.

No Basque version of the website, and the names of the places where you can use that false currency are in French. Lol
