Just a dollar or something.. I'd love to see the new bank notes.. just make sure we get just 1 person to send me one though, I don't want like 20 people sending me Euro's lol! Just wanted to 'own' one..

What do they look like btw..? I have yet to see one on TV or the internet.

They look pretty awful Dan, they're bright, in many different colors and show famous European buildings. I will send you a five Euro note (that's the lowest note available), along with the 20 bucks I promised to donate towards the Ironworks fund.

Bah! I won't get my hands on them for ages even though I live in Europe!

If the offer is still open, I will gladly send a Euro note to you ! [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color="lightblue"> Not realy wierd. Down here, our coin system goes 5c 10c 20c 50c $1 $2 then our note system cuts in $5 $10 $20 $50 $100. We used to habe 1 and 2 dollar notes, but they were taken out of circulation a few years ago (i think even before the 1 and 2c coins). And 5 Euros might be the equivalent of 1 or 2 $US. </font>

Like Kaz said: "run for the hills the Euro is here!"

Indeed!
Well, as far as I see, it's not famous BUILDINGS, it's architectural styles. So, for instance, you see a Greek/Roman style building on the 5 Euro note, a Romanic style building on the 10 Euro, Gothic on the 20 Euro, Renaissance on the 50 Euro, Barock on the 100 Euro, etc. However, the buildings are imaginary, not real. Overly politically correct, is what I say. Boring.
The coins are more interesting, different ones for every country. For instance, here in Germany we have our familiar Oak leaf (don't ask me what it stands for) on the 1c and 5c coins, the Brandenburger Tor on the 10c, 20c, 50c coins and the Eagle on the 1 Euro and 2 Euro coins.
An interesting bit of trivia: The German 1 Euro piece is not perfectly balanced. In an experiment, it was proven that, when flipping the coin, the eagle-side came up 7% more often than the number-side. My theory: The word "Euro" is longer than the word "DM", so the number-side is heavier... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Just wanted to point out that Sweden looks like a certain male organ on the euro.. ;)
Damn it! Why wasn't I born in Norway?! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
