Similar Currency
Was in Riga, Latvia and didn’t realize how similar Latvian/Lithuanian currency look. A guy in a suit approached me and asked if I could make change for him, and I was feeling stupidly generous for some reason. The denominations escape me, but he counted out 20 “Liths” in coin for my 20 Lat in bills. Ended up losing around $40.
BUT!! You won’t have to worry about falling victim to this scam, because both countries are now on the Euro.
