all i want to say here is well done swedon for saying no to the euro i'm sorry for your loss but i'm very happy that u said no at leats britians not the only country in europe who is proud of there heritage and atachely want some economic growth!!!  

We have the euro here in the Netherlands, and i kinda like it. All right, some things have become more expensive, but thats only minor and our family can take it.    

one penney sweet = €1 lol
(1p is lowest amunt in the uk)

1€= 2,20271 gulden. I must admit i have already forgot about the gulden. But i dont care I am proud to be dutch but i fail to see why a currency should be a sign of that.  

You sound to me like... hm, like a Romulan. Your avatar fits your personality very well, indeed.

About the Euro: Just take a look at the reverse sides of the Euro coins. Every country has its own symbols on them. I like to collect coins from other Euro countries and it's interesting to see where tourists come from or where people go in the holidays just by looking at the change money you get in your local shops.

The Euros from Ireland have the harp on their back, just as the former Irish Pound, the German Euro has the eagle on the back, the smaller coins an oak leaf, just as the Mark and Pfennig had, etc, etc.

And I really think that the future lies in a united Europe and people like you are the reason why the progress is that slow. Look, if you liked Star Trek and if you understood the idea behind it, then you would never persist on a own currency just because of its "cultural heritage". That's really narrow-minded. Conservatism is a serious enemy of progress.
