Subject: RE: BS: Should UK join the Euro ?
Fiolar, we still have the groat, it's 4p. And the Guinea is £1.05 (or is it £1.12?). It occurred to me that the name 'ecu' (for the Euro) was quietly dropped some time ago - I wonder if some German noticed that French coinage a couple of hundred years ago had that very name... Wolfgang?
