    Couldn't resist showing you chaps this one- the proposed British prototype for the Ecu (European Currency Unit) from the early '90s.
    I bought it back in the days when I collected British silver bullion proofs, but this is only base metal (I think).

    The Euro wasn't named Ecu for the simple reason that in Portuguese "Ecu" sounds exactly like "It's an arse". A bit impolitical, I dare say. And this is true, I'm not making it up!

    Richard, you'll have to watch the entire rerun of Monty Python in order to begin understanding what humour is. Oh, you are a Pom already... Maybe you'll have to watch it twice...

    Unfortunately companies and banks are slow and reluctant to update their currency rates. I wish I had an effective 1.08 rate, I'm not even aiming at 1 vs 1 .
