the Euro €

I've been paying in cash at shops around Leiden. I do have to say that the Euro system and their denominations of coins and bills are very user friendly. Even the different sizes fo the I do miss single dollar bills but I do love gaining €2 coins. I really do enjoy looking at the Euro coins to see the national sides. The most exotic I've encountered so far has been a €1 from Finland. Most coins in my little change purse are German or Belgian.

This site has a nice little chart with all of the national sides of the Euro coins.
