Go to your bank. They will exchange currency for you. Then take it home and put it in a safe place. Like a safe. Or put it in a safety deposit box at the bank.

Oh wow - you meant literal Euros! I thought it was like investing in the European Bank system. I’ve moved most of my US investments to European & Japanese mutual funds already but am considering switching some of those out to Euro bonds as well. I’ll see about buying Euros. Thx!
Can you do that with a US brokerage account or do you have to open an account overseas?
You should be able to do it with your US acct - mine is mostly my 401k/Roth IRA. I did research on sustainable/green mutual funds & then sold most of my US funds & bought the Euro/Int’l choices.
I opened a Wise account a while back to hold foreign currencies in.
Hello. I had a lot in sustainable and ROI was 10% in 2024. Got rid of it all after inauguration. Would you please share starting point for your Euro/intl research? TY.
1/ Google ‘Top Intn’l ESG funds, note recommendations from reputable companies (Morningstar, Bloomberg) & Euro finance bodies. Create a spreadsheet & start researching. 1st I look at each funds top 10 holdings & country/currency breakdown. If my parameters are met, then I look up ROI.

2/ I’m more concerned with green/equitable funds & not contributing to Amazon, Meta, Tesla (which is hidden in a lot of green funds), Big oil, Big pharma, and credit card co’s. This is where Euro funds excel bc they believe in investing in climate mitigating infrastructure & not just capitalism.
I don't trust investments at the moment. I only trust hard currency.
