Luxembourg

2 Conversations

Easy to miss, just as well. Luxembourg has no official currency of its own and so alternates between Dollars, Sterling and French and Belgium Francs. The bulk of Luxembourg's national income is derived from screwing over thick tourists by giving back small change comprised of all four currencies and fiddling with the exhange rates.
In the event of a common European currency Luxembourg will eerily dissappear.
