The Euro.

[cocaine]

The UK is stupid - we wanted to join to EU. So we joined it. Every other county whos in the EU uses Euros - so why can't we? It'd be easier using Euros because we wouldn't have to bloody change currency when we go on holiday.

I remember there was going to be a referendum on it. But it got scrapped because Gordan Brown (Who were Chancellor) said something about it needs to be £1/1€ and then he said something about our own economic growth or something I forget.

But sometime probably a few years, we'll never know, that we'll be converted into Toy Money...

£1 = 1.26856€ at the moment so if he's waiting for £1 = 1€ it shouldn't take too long

I live in a country where the euro has been brought in, that country is Ireland .


When it was first intruduced, everyone was like o no were loosing our currency and it will take a long time to get used to the euro. soon enough everyone started using it, and diddent think a any more about it.

Using the euro also has its benifits, as its accecpted in most europeian countrys, so you know what youre spending in other countrys.

It's going to happen sooner or later so you may aswell just accept the change and move on with it.

My family in Ireland said that before the euro came out there, everything was fine. But now the euro is there, everything is so much more expensive they can hardly afford stuff now. I hope it never comes here.

I think we should stick with the pound. Its still like the second strongest currency after the dollar, no need to change.

No, because the GBP is one of the strongest currencies in the world.

I agree, if the euro comes in the economy would go out the window, prices are high enough as it is (£1.30 for diesel, aghh) and they'll most likely rise again come the euro.

Granted it's the common currency in Europe itself but the GBP system is traditional and also unique. It'll also take time for people to change and more importantly businesses to adapt to price changes etc.

Strongest currency is such a broad term, you could say the strongest is the currency with the least inflation which is the dinar (the Kuwaiti one I think is the least of them). Or strongest could be the currency with the same amount in circulation at any one time (to avoid inflation) which would be the pound, or most widely used which is too close to call between the Euro and the Dollar. Then again the currency which all other currencies are based on has got to be mentioned, gold
