Please, John, refrain to circulate such information : the introduction of euro is going to be a non-event. Euro is there, period. And forget the few anti-European Union who desperately invent stories trying to demonstrate the dangers of unification. Thanks for your understanding. BTW since this morning I have euro coins in my pocket. Just for feeling myself as a true European. Louis
