What's more, in the Isle of Man (which is situated between Britain and

things in a mixture of pounds sterling, euro, US dollars, whatever. They
don't care. Shops will just take anything, and if necessary make up an
exchange rate on the spot. The reason they don't care is because they can
actually spend this mix anywhere _else_ on the Isle of Man.
A very enlightened attitude, I find.

Agreed. But it's not a member or part of the EU, or of the UK, like the
Channel Islands - which makes them all convenient tax havens. It is
self-governing, with the oldest Parliament in the world I understand.
