I remember the most euros we had was about 1.75E then its steadily gone down. I can remember the older people in Crete at that time were having a real problem trying to sort it out, apparently the first year they were losing money & then by the second they had it sorted. (according to friends who live there, not my reckoning). I still have problems with the little coins, in the shops when its so dark without my specs I cant see what they are and cant remember them.
