minus-squareMudManlinkfedilink6•10 months agoI appreciate the sheer gumption. They should have doubled down and just called it “money”. Plural “moneys”. How much is it? Seven moneys. Actually, now that I think about it I know at least two countries that arguably already do that, so… you know what? Euro is dumber. Love it.

minus-squareMudManlinkfedilink1•10 months agoCould always just have defaulted to whatever the word for “money” is on that language, all at once. Go nuts. I mean, once calling it “Euro” is on the table there are no bad ideas anymore.
