Jim, The change went according to time zones. Portugal and Ireland changed over one hour later than we did when their New Year started. Finland and Greece preceeded us by an hour.
Thousands of people got euros as soon as possible from cash machines after midnight. These had been loaded in the afternoon and evening. Things went largely without a hitch. I will go to a machine later in the day. Han ----- Original Message ----- From: "James R.
