The euro was introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency on 1 January 1999, replacing the former European Currency Unit (ECU) at a ratio of 1:1. Euro coins and banknotes entered circulation on 1 January 2002. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro The term is Euro, not Euro Dollar. If we used the wrong name for your agency you'd get upset. You should use the correct name for the currency. --Tom

You now know what the currency is called, but you could have just read the name off those annoying bits of paper when you were there. (As for getting the pound right, that's too advanced....)

The Euros aren't worth much anyway. You now know what the currency is called, but you could have just read the name off those annoying bits of paper when you were there. Sorry, never had a reason to look at them in detail. In fact, I still don't. Yet, I saw nothing wrong with the term Euro Disneyland until the French through a hissy-fit. I did keep some Kroners through. I guess I'll have to take a closer look. John

We were actually embarrassed that someone tipped a dollar and saw nothing wrong with it. Yet, in all our encounters in all types of countries and cultures, not one person ever tried to give any tip back or say it was too much. We believe in rewarding good service no matter where we go and where we are. It may be a nasty American habit, and it almost seems commendable that you would want to honor a particular culture in such as way. Or is this just a convenient excuse to get cheap?
