How is a euro broken down?
This is a serious question: it suddenly dawned on me that I don't know what the euro is broken down into? I don't mean mathematical increments, but you know how a dollar is broken down into cents and a pound into pence. What do they call them with euros?

Following Sue's lead I went to that site and found the following PDF file that is a spelling glossary for the notes and coins (singular and plural!) in all the various countries. However, I found it interesting that where I live(France) it says that it is called the "cent" and "cents", but everywhere it is called and written in France so far people are using centimes-so it wouldbe interesting to note what other countries are really doing<BR><BR>Jean<BR><BR>http://europa.eu.int/euro/html/rubri...ique=100|chap=

It is cents in Ireland, and I would guess it probably is in most places. The French probably just call it centimes because cent is so similar to centime and it's what they're used to.

I guess this thread could be re-labeled "Euro-nalysis", huh?<BR>
