What's the name of your monetary unit? What can you buy with one unit?

Posted by ⊱ Mickey ⊰ on June 25, 2013 in General Discussion

Chinese Yuan, American Dollar, Japanese Yen, European Euro, British Pound... What's the name of your monetary unit? What can you buy with one unit? In China, you can buy one bottle of mineral water with 1 Yuan; if you have 1 yuan, you can take a bus [big city 2 yuan or more].

      That's the point, we did not join the EU, but we have accepted the Euro as our currency. Ironic but true :-) We're in European integration, and we negotiate with EU commision, and their institution. In a few years we will be a full member of EU. Before Euro (since 2002 year), we had Deutsche Mark.

      German monetary system?

      You haven't been a EU member but use Euro? Oh, I didnt know this!

      You're welcome! :-) I just want to note that small economies must have their own monetary unit, and the European Union is not the best choice for us. Cheers! ;-)

      Aaaah, I got you! Can I know your former money system before your country joined the EU?
