  • In NL we rounded off before the euro, only had 5, 10 and 25ct coins (and 1 and 2,5 guilder); after the euro came we all of a sudden had more coins (1, 2 , 5, 10, 20, 50) but within a few years collectively stopped using the 1 and 2 cent coins. Don’t know who started, but I’m always a bit surprised when I’m in another eu country and get a single cent as change. I mean they eventually add up to something but it takes forever until you could theoretically buy something with it.




  • Whatever works, I guess, actually in Dutch it is in a ‘china-cabinet’ (?) as in a closet/cupboard for fragile plates but i guess that word is so old it’s not really something anyone actually anyone has like nobody has silverware for special occasions anymore.




  • I agree on the name, the further you get with this the harder it will be to change it so i feel adding a comment is worth the insult. Good thing you’re not jumping on the ‘eu first’ bandwagon with the name though, the more universal the service is the more value it has on a global scale. I think this is part of the reason why I dislike the name, as it is a bit of an inside ‘joke’. Don’t have a better suggestion though
