Enigma, Yes, that's entirely possible. There are many Germans who are not happy about losing their beloved Deutschemark. The same goes for France and their Franc. In the Netherlands, I believe it was, the finance minister was going to the ministry and was pied in the face by an unhappy citizen who didn't share his enthusiasm about the new currency. Brits are mostly against it and it remains to be seen if they will join. Although economics may dictate it in the future.

The real test will come when the Euro is the only coin of all their realms. I must say as a tourist to many of those countries, I would appreciate the one currency. It was a nightmare going from one place to another and having pockets, moneybelts, etc. stuffed with coins from the last country. To say nothing of the fact of exchanging your money for the new countries money. We alleviated a lot of that frustration though, by using the bank machines. I still have jars of foreign coins leftover.

Cheers
