I don't expect everybody to know every country's currency - but business people, especially those in international business, I don't know what to say. Well okay, I do, and I just said it.

Soap, on hearing the terms Australian-Dollars, Zimbabwean-Dollars, Singaporean-Dollars etc., conclude that the Euro should be termed Euro-Dollars, but business people! That is a whole different ballgame. That said, on the day of the Euro's introduction, I had great difficulty explaining to the local village idiot that a) there was no such thing as an <i>Irish-Euro</i> and b) even if there were, there would be no exchange rate difference between it, and say, a <i>French-Euro</i>. Years later, and I am still fighting the other great Euro battle with him: That the plural of Euro is Euro and the plural of Cent is Cents. I could understand Mr. & Mrs. J.
