Quick update... report from a couple weeks ago... talks about international subsidiary... says it was formed for 2 reasons... 1. to expand to supermarket chains outside U.S. 2. for taking coins out of European currency AHEAD of conversion to the EURO in 2002... they say Canada is most likely for first expansion to supermarkets outside U.S. and evidently the common currency in Europe situation is for taking 76 billion in coins out of circulation AHEAD of the transition...so that could begin at any time in advance and still go for years...
