Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Euronet Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") by the Company on the date hereof under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Registration Statement relates to 414,657
shares of the Company's common stock, $0.02 par value per share (collectively,
the "Shares"), issued to the selling stockholder listed in the Registration
Statement.

In connection therewith, we have relied upon, among other things, our
examination of such documents, records of the Company and certificates of its
officers and public officials as we have deemed necessary for purposes of the
opinions expressed below. We express no opinion as to matters under or involving
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the corporate law of the State of
Delaware and the federal law of the United States of America.

For purposes of the opinion expressed below, we have assumed (i) the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (ii) the conformity
to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or
photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals and (iii) the due
authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all parties and the
validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof (other than the
authorization, execution and delivery of documents by the Company). This opinion
assumes that the provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation will
not be amended after the date hereof.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and having regard for such legal
considerations as we have deemed relevant:

           (a) we are of the opinion that the Company has authority pursuant to
      its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to issue up to an aggregate
      of 60,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.02 par value per share ("Common
      Stock").

           (b) with respect to an aggregate of 251,588 Shares subject to the
      Registration Statement issued to or for the benefit of Charles Stimson
      prior to the date hereof, we are of the opinion that such Shares have been
      duly authorized, were legally issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

           (c) with respect to an aggregate of 225,878 Shares subject to the
      Registration Statement that may be issued to or for the benefit of Mr.
      Stimson as "Stock Payment True-Up Shares", "Earn Out Shares" and "Net
      Asset Payment Shares" pursuant to the "CPI Purchase Agreement", as defined
      in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, assuming that
      upon issuance such Shares together with all shares of Common Stock
      previously issued or reserved for issuance and not duly and lawfully
      retired do not exceed 60,000,000 shares, we are of the opinion that such
      Shares have been duly authorized and upon issuance shall be legally issued
      and fully paid and nonassessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement and the reference to our firm under the
heading "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement.

We do not undertake to advise you of any changes in the opinions expressed
herein from matters that might hereafter arise or be brought to our attention.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP
