Hi Waterman,
When I was in mainland Europe I really liked changing the different currencies and in places like Switzerland using currencies of bordering countries. I'd have three or four currencies in my wallet, which was a problem fo space with the Italian Lira.
Each country seemed to have its' own identity, its' own culture. I think, even though I haven't been back since the introduction of the Euro, that, that 'fun' I had would be lost and crossing borders will be a little boring (we Europeans don't even need to show a passport anymore). I imagine it would be easy to lose track on where you were!
I imagine all those little Bureaux de Change out of business. Did they all become Wendys' or Starbucks?
I know that globalization is important and that movement on this planet needs to be free, but there are some thing I consider sacred, and one of those things is the Coin of the Realm.
Best regards,
Steve

So, what is your opinion? Should the world move into
one currency or not?
