What currency you generally use?

    My question is this: what is the currency you generally use for your services/products?

    Since I'm from Europe (EU) I'd prefer to use € (euros) but since many of my clients are from US I'm still using $ (dollars). What do you suggest? Should I switch?

    Also, if you're from US, how do you see prices in EUROs. For example, which one is preferable for you: $100 or €100 ?

    If you have US clients, USD is probably a better option.

    In all my time on the internet, both as a webmaster and consumer, I have found the vast majority of people work with $US so I have adopted to that currency myself.

    Even though I'm from the UK, I do now get a little taken aback when I see online prices quoted in '£'

    EURO for European countries and USD for other countries.
    Meanwhile USD is now a weak currency causing our Adsense incomes to drop :mad:

    Cheers !

    Since the USD is the backbone of the world currency system, I'll take them. :)

    Actually, I'm in the US, so Euros don't do too much for me. Might get funny looks if I walk into the store and whip out a bunch of Euros.

    The Euro is a fairly solid currency.

    If I lived in the Philippines, I wouldn't be asking for the Philippine Peso either. :)

    I also use US, although the US currency's downward trend is really harmful. In about a year the currency has gone from 1EUR = 1.25USD to 1EUR = 1.35USD.

    As I'm charging US dollars, I'm losing in this game :)

    I'm sure we'll see a shift to the positive for the USD over the next 12 months or so.

    if my currency (peso) is not available, my second choice is US dollar! i always have a hard time converting dollar to peso! it will take 50 years before you will have the cash with you!

    For online purposes: US$. For Dutch clients: euro's. I agree with the comment on the strong euro and weak dollar: it makes for less money overall for me.
