Now that's my kinda currency!!
By the way we had a visiting European scientist tell us that they'd
originally thought of calling the Euro the European Monetary Unit, but
then
someone pointed out that an emu was a flightless Aussie bird, so they
swapped to Euro (the guy may have been having us on, but that's what he
said)... little did they obviously realise that there is a small Aussie
marsupial rodent that goes by the name uro, so now every time they talk
about European currency I immediately think small and fuzzy ;)
