On my recent trip, I did a pretty good job of getting rid of all my bills as I transitioned from currency to currency. The small amount of forint and korunas paper I had left in London I swapped for a few pounds to buy tea and crumpets.

But everywhere I went I ended up with a pocket of change, which I tossed into my backpack at the end of each stop. The result is kinda pretty. A cool CV app would be a program that could take that image and tell me how much I've got left. I used seven currencies while traveling (dollars, pounds, euros, new turkish lira, romanian lei, hungarian forint, and czech korunas), and I think I have at least one coin from each.
