I like the Euro too : it makes me feel like I'm playing Monopoly all the time ! But one worl currency wouldn't work : weak economies would just drag the value down. The Euro is fun though . The coin designs are cool too. I really like the Italian ones :evil:

Arf, our coins are quite ugly.

That's an advantage of Euro: coin collecting is easier!

Yeah, what's up with the French coins ? A tree ? A TREE ?! The only worse design I can think of is the Irish harp coins. Ugly ugly ugly :evil:

It is supposed to be one of the Liberty Trees that were (excessively and uselessly) planted everywhere during the Revolutions. It was a good idea but it has been baaaaadly drawed.

I wonder why they didn't take the old design we used to have on the 10 Francs coin.. This one was very nice. Or even the Mont St-Michel we used to have on the very rare 20 Francs coin.

The other coins have the Marianne on it, but once again it's ugly.
