My first question is why are you exchanging dollars to begin with? Oh, and where? The bank? Just get Euros out of an ATM (must come out of your checking account). Hopefully you notified your bank of your travel plans. I don't know anyone who exchanges dollars for local currency anymore. I do take a few hundred USD for emergency use but have never had to utilize this last ditch plan.

The official exchange rate is currently €71.13/$100 so you are getting a better rate than you would from an ATM.
