This sounds interesting I will continue reading the rest. I am in the planning stage of a European trip early Summer this year. I plan to use Eurail to visit over 20 countries. I plan to also visit Ukraine though that would be via a train other than Eurail. The easiest, and most logical, souvenir (for me) is foreign currency. Just a small amount of change, and of course my passport stamped. Usually a souvenir is an item that sits and isn't used. On the occasion that it is a shirt, or shot glasses(another favorite people like), I see those as items that if used will wear out or break respectively. Clothing is an item I have to pack anyway so I don't want to carry even more clothing by buying it as a souvenir and nothing breakable. Money is small, easily portable, unbreakable, will retain some value, and can slide into the small voids that are almost always left when packing.

A suggestion is to include Prague in your travel to Europe.
