Too good as works of art to swap for a pile of boring old bridges and windows. Non-existant bridges too. A metaphor for the entire Euro ideology. |

Ouch. |

Forged or real? :-) The cashier at the supermarket showed me one to look at and feel (the banknote, that is). I offered to take it down to the bank and check if it was genuine, but she declined ;=) 1 and 2 cent Euro coins are the next to go according to our local newspaper. Yep, I tip out the contents of my purse every few days and put all the small change in a jar. Every few months when the jar gets too heavy to carry I lug the whole lot down to the savings bank, they've got a machine where you tip the stuff in, it goes chug chug chug and spits out a receipt. It's amazing how much you can get together. |

It's amazing how much you can get together. Keep an eye on any UK banknotes that you have. They seem to have built in obsolescence. I am against weighting down my pockets with coins and refuse to carry a purse. I dump any coins I receive into a jar at night and take them to my bank, which has a free counting machine, about once a month. I try to use a credit card for most purchases. -- Jim Silverton (Potomac, MD) Extraneous "not." in Reply To. |
