Cigarettes: 2.50
Gasoline 1 litre: varies a lot.. 60 cents
Student flat: 250 euros or more.

We're so stupid we can tell how much something is worth no matter whether it's paper or metal.

What are you thinking - this says one on it but it's a coin, that must be worth less than this note that says one on it.

I wish we were as clever as you Greeks.

[Bereta_Eder]

Sure if the most worth coin was 50 drachmas. And given the same situation your inflation would sky rocket unlike the eurozone's.

You are not clever, you pass time is plainspotting for fook's sake.

[Bereta_Eder]

And we are not talking about coin and note having the same value. but coins have extremely different value which changed in one day.

I'm telling you this again because you're english.

I'm still arguing with when you said that we were wrong to change over to the pound coin.

Explain to me how they do this. How? I would really like to see how to take advantage of someone who doesn't like to use 1 and 2 euro coins. Do they refuse to accept 1 and 2 euro coins? Do they raise their prices to the nearest note denomination?

A one euro coin is worth, well, one euro. If people don't want to spend it, they still have one euro in their pocket.

I disagree. I feel the reason they've never worked is because you never get them. I've only gotten dollar coins at the post office as change. If they are serious about using dollar coins, the one dollar bill has got to go. I've only gotten 1 Sacajewa dollar ever. I decided to keep it since it was neat. Just like I kept a loonie and toonie from Canada.

That and they keep making them the same size as the quarter.

Credit cards are much better, I agree.

If I could get away with paying for everything by plastic it would make things so much easier.

Of course paitkis would have a nightmare, plastic devalues money even further, you just don't appreciate how much you are spending unless you pass over notes.


paitkis, I have a suggestions. For everyone coin you have, stick it to a piece of paper with the denomination written on it with a big black marker pen. Hand over the paper money and you will appreciate its value more.

No to the proposal. At the countrary, make €5 a coin too.

If only we hadn't got rid of the £1 note, we may have held onto India.

[Bereta_Eder]

the only thing relating the two is your dumbness.

I'm still wondering how retailers take advantage of the fact that people don't like 1 and 2 euro coins.

Do people throw 1 euro coins in the trash? 2 euro coins?
