which rate? the one last week or the rate my sister got?How/where did you manage to get a rate of 0.6933!?! Even the wholesale rate was not that high on Friday as far [broken link removed]. I converted $ to € using Transfermate on Monday and got a rate of 0.67950 and I believe that this was relatively competitive compared to retail rates (and charges).
If its any help i bought dollars last friday. I changed 2600 euro and got 3750 dollars.
My sister changed euros to dollars 3 weeks ago and she chanced 2500 euro , she got 4000 dollars.
so i think although it is very unpredictable you might be better off doing the exchange now, better to be safe than sorry

clubman ,Your's obviously:
Your's: €2,600 / $3,750 = 0.6933
You sister's: €2,500 / $4,000 = 0.6250
I find it hard to believe that you actually got that rate last Friday.
Sorry - my stupid mistake! I was selling $ to buy € whereas this thread is about selling € to buy $ so involves the opposite side of the forex spread!BoI retail rate is currently 0.6974. The OP doesn't mention whether commission is included in the calculation, or not.
