What are they
called now? "Hundredths of a Euro?" or do you just say
"komma null eins euro?"
No, Cent. what a stupid name, I mean, it has no
sound to it. Ah, I long for
the good ol' days, when real coins had real names...
Yes, my suggestion was
Franken and Pfennig, both are real coin names,
both are well known in all European languages (Franken, Franc, Franks
/ Pfennig, Pennig, Penny...) (I think the beeing a politician removes all common
sense),
I think it's more the other way around: one does not become a
politician unless one is already rather lacking.
had to come up with the stupis name Euro.
Like the currency itself, I suspect it's largely a political
compromise.
But then again, who cares, as long as I get nice
computers for this
funny paper, I'm fine.
There _is_ that. :-)
