Well Finland and pretty much Scandinavia has allways been expensive, well at least to us Dutch
The fun part about the Euro now, is to try and collect all the coins, every country has a diffrent set.

The Euro money has some advantages:
1) You don't need to change money when crossing EU country borders.
2) The money is logical consistent (small = small value, big = big value)
3) You could better compare prizes.
The real bad thing about it is that the prizes increased.
Nevertheless: I think we (EU ppl) better could give up our own coins and stuff and stick together.

Euro
Apparently, it's 'start date' has bred some problems...
I've heard that multiple money laundering rings are counterfeiting Euros and exchanging them for US Dollars...
And on a side note...Italy has had so many problems that there are only enough 'real' Euros available (due to counterfeiting and such) to fund only 30% of the ATMs in that country...
Bad idea, announcing the release having such (apparently) lax security on the form and composition of it...

I life in canada so i am unaffected by the euro, however I think that soon enough with the canadian dollar so low, we will just have to have a combined currency with the US and prices will skyrocket

I hated the idea when it was still just an idea...
damn the euro
damn the prices

people calm down a little bit
its just money
what the **** do you all care what it looks like
and about the prices going up, that aint so bad, you are talking about cents. and because we can pay with cents now we will never pay more then the real price like we used to do, with five cents (stuivers)
I personnally dont give a **** about the money change, it can only be good for the economics, and I dont have to change money everytime I go international
a more intresting subject is: do you also think that europe will outstrip The US of A, cause I really hope so.. and it will probably be so.. (if I have to believe all those ministers)
well this should cause some comotion under the american AO members

If we were to listen to the majority of the economist they say the Euro will gain parity with the US Dollar by June/July and then get stronger, therefore torism from Europe will go up strengthening the US economy.
