Just curious, or do you guys use both...

I mean doesn't most of Europe use Euros?

Hasn't the Euro been successful for the last 10 years?

I imagine it's just a political thing. Sort of like how the US doesn't use metric.

We tried that once, It failed, hard...


I mean wouldn't changing a system of currency be easier?

For a metric system you have to teach generations that ONLY learned the imperial system, at least kids these days know what a centimeter is... 1/10 of a meter....

What do you guys still use 'paper' money?

You can use plastic synthetic notes and it's much harder to destroy.

Pound used to > Euro.  Now, as said, its about the same.  There is a bit of talk about it again now considering how much the £ has tanked against the euro.

I learnt metric and imperial, but i never learnt how to convert between, which would have been really handy

Pounds are worth more than Euros, plain and simple.

Because when the whole idea was tabled, we were waaaay stronger than the Euro, and IIRC were stronger (£ wise) than everyone else in the EU. So it made no sense to devalue the money we had.

Plus it looks like fucking monopoly money

Eventually it would average out, but we were so strong economically compared to the rest of the EU (bar Deutschland) it would have been financial suicide at the time.
