You mean that you won't be converting to Euro at all? I thought you were coming in a second batch after the first lot converted. Are you totally outside the EMU? >What does a Euro look like? Anyone care to make an ASCII rendition? http://www.euro.fi/eurojasina/eurorahat.html That's what they will look like. The banknotes (bills) are identical in all countries, the coins are specific. (follow the "eurokolikot"-link at the bottom of the page) Hope the transition to Euros goes easily.. I'm really looking forward to travelling in Europe without exchanging money.. If you're driving to Denmark, for instance, you have to change some Swedish Kroner as well as Danish, as you'll no doubt buy something from .se too. :-/' >If we changed to Euro, none of our sayings would work anymore... >"In for a penny, in for a pound!" ... "In for a Euro, in for a hundred >Euros!" 1 Eurocent is 0.01 Euros.. Or 100 Cents -> 1 Euro. :-) -- Universal CBM, PEZ, and TI-calc nut, Scout, Glider pilot, "Student" Email: vjo...@sci.fi, URL: http://www.sci.fi/~vjouppi/ GSM: +358-40-5679999, IRCNet: Jope "I see", said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.
