This is the third entry on the Euro, but incorporates all the information contained in the others. (Except Duncan's detailed System Developers' Guide)
It does not include any political discussion, but just gives details of what has been done and how the Changeover will take place in the 12 countries, as far as could be ascertained.
A sequel is promised (probably much shorter!) after 1 Jan 2002.
Please go ahead and review it for me.

Hi, Trillian's Child!
This looks very thorough, and explains the setup very well.
The only problem is one of time: when this gets picked, it will need to be sub-edited very quickly to get it out in time!

I've a couple of technical comments.
To whom is the quote just before the table of currencies atributed? Perhaps it should go as a footnote.
There's at least one other part in quotes and italics. The same applies.
Finally, the last paragraph is in the first person.
All should be easy to change

Note to Scouts - if you're going to recommend this, please try and get it through before the end of the year, as the changeover takes place on 1 January 2002.
Have altered in accordance with your comments, Zarquon!

Indeed! I only asked the towers if this one needed to stay in PR for the mandatory week, and see what happened
TC!

I'm sure we'll all have horror stories to contribute when you produce the January update!
