To help, I always place coins from the previous country visited in an envelope when leaving so as to not mix them with coins from the next country. When arriving in the new country, I try to obtain coins of different denominations so that I can study them and learn the difference. Then before I set out, I count how much money I have in coins - so that if I buy a less expensive item I will know if I have enough coins to pay, or for more expensive items if coins can be combined with notes to pay. This helps speed up the transaction, plus helps prevent accumulating large amounts of coins. Also, I always try to have a few smaller notes to pay for the less expensive items. A vendor really doesn't want to get a $100 note to for a $1 item.

Rizzo ID2049 - When participating in nature and the outdoors on your holiday, remember to choose styles of travel that are sensitive to the area you are enjoying. Simple practices like carrying out your garbage or 'Take Only a Picture, Leave Only a Footprint' go a long way to ensure that the integrity of the area is maintained for your next visit. It never hurts to remind other travelers of these tips if you see indiscretions. Remember to be gentle with them, as they may simply not be aware of how to 'tread lightly'. Also, consider choosing travel services and suppliers that are sensitive and/or contribute to the environment or community they represent. You can find more information on sensitive travel practices at a site called Leave No Trace.
