C & P (chip and pin) has been in use in the UK (and Europe) for
some years.

For Americans who do not travel to Germany (or Europe much):
I hadn't been in Germany for about 6-8 years, before going this past
fall.
Many businesses, outside of large towns or cities, as a general rule
will not accept credit cards, but take Euros only (I do not think this
is true of Switzerland given my limited exposure there, but they do
want Swiss Francs).
If you are going to a major city and staying there (such as
Boeblingen, Stuttgart, Frankfort, esv, DE), you can live on your
credit card.
However, if you are out in the smaller towns and villages, if you run
out of Euros, it may be painful to get more.
I was in the southern part of the Black Forest area of Germany
(Schwarzwald), and the banks there have had their credit card machines
pulled so that the tellers and/or "platform" officers can not do
Dollars to Euros via your credit card (swipe type where they have a
paper you have to sign).
So, be absolutely sure that your credit card has a pin associated with
it so you can use the teller machines to get Euros. Otherwise, you
will have to be in a larger town or small city where the banks have
"normal" hours (not the 9-11, 14-16 hours of the small town banks) to
buy Euros without a pin.
I don't understand. Is it a problem with your card/bank or rather small
shops in the Forest do not have card terminal?
I suspect this is limitation of your card. I saw such cards.
BTW: US is last country where my card were imprinted (embossed), it is
probably also last place on Earth where signature is needed instead of PIN.
(obviously my experience is limited, I haven't visited all the countries
on Earth)
